    Abstract
    Agriculture is one the most water consuming sections in the world and roughly 60% of water demand is dedicated for this purpose. A seawater greenhouse manages to combine fan and pad greenhouse with humidification-dehumidification desalination in order to achieve water production next to agriculture products using moister in air which was used for cooling. The most important aspect of a seawater greenhouse is the amount of produced water. Many research on the condenser type and materials have been conducted in order to achieve a better performance, suggesting the utilization of a low temperature water source for the condenser. In this research, using a thermodynamic correlations to model the...
