Abstract:
Keywords: Plastic net; Temperature; Radiation; Measuring method; Simulation; Thermocouple

To determine the energy transfer through a plastic net-covered structure, the temperature of the net (Tn) is an essential parameter. The perforated nature of nets and the effects of solar and thermal radiation, during the daytimes, make it is impossible to measure Tn correctly by using most types of thermometer. Therefore, Tn has never been theoretically estimated or experimentally measured in the presence of solar and thermal radiation.
