Abstract

A theoretical model is formulated in this Part 1 of the paper for simulating the physical process of condensation of the humid air in the condenser of seawater greenhouse that is located in Muscat, Oman. Analyses to the equations, in addition to the theoretical developments of the proposed model are discussed.
