Perimetric heating of soil in the hothouse (Research plan)

RESEARCH PLAN

1.  Andrey Papkov, Novosibirsk State Agrarian University, Post-graduate student.

2.  Perimetric heating of soil in the hothouse:

1. to preparation of the research program;
2. to design a mathematical model of temperature field;
3. to develop a methodology for the pilot study;
4. to prepare the experiment.

3.  The purpose of research is to work out a perimetric system of electric heating of soil in hothouses in spring providing uniform warmth over the soil and consequently, equal productivity per each sq. meter.

4.  Methods:

1. calculation method;
2. method of modeling;
3. experimental measurements.

Materials:

a.  heating metallized wire;

b.  indicators of energy;

c.  digital thermometer.

5.  Providing a uniform warmth over the soil and consequently, equal productivity per each sq. meter.

6.  Expected results:

1. to study the level of competence in perimetric system of electric heating of soil in hothouses abroad;
2. to investigate temperature fields in experiment.

7.  Expected cooperation:

1. literature review on research;
2. research with real heating system of hothouse.

8.  Further implementation of the results of training at the Host University:

1. to design a mathematical model of temperature field;
2. to deduce the equation of  thermal balance;
3. to develop a rational system of perimetric heating of soil of individual hothouses for Southern areas of Siberia.
8. Publications: 1article, Simulation of heating hothouses.
