Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Due to spectral transparency and flexibility of plastic, it is used in dryers in modern greenhouses. Helio dryers use plastic as a case for chamber providing sunlight and heat protection. This study highlights the use of plastics in the dryer heated by solar energy and includes the calculation experiment on determining the flow function and speed vortex of drying agent with different geometrical parameters of drying chamber. A technological scheme is presented and operation of the proposed dryer is described. To justify camera parameters, the Navier-Stokes equation is used. This problem is solved by a sweep method using numerical calculation, and flow function isolines and speed vortex in the form of graphs are obtained.
