Enhancing full-cycle thermo-flow uniformity in intensive curing barns via perforated horizontal plates with stepped spacing

Key Points

• Improved thermal uniformity is observed in curing barns with perforated plates and stepped spacing for heat distribution.
• Thermal uniformity increased significantly, showing improvements in heat distribution patterns across differing barn sections.
• Assessment of heat flow utilized perforated horizontal plates arranged with stepped spacing for optimal results.
• These findings may enable better design strategies in modern curing barns, benefiting agricultural practices.
