Numerical predictive model based on the equations of conservation of energy and moisture was developed to investigate the performance of drying sewage sludge under greenhouse. The results show that drying efficiency is prodigious using greenhouse and the main parameters affecting drying efficiency are solar radiations and ambient temperature.
