英文摘要	The most valuable resource for sustaining life on earth is water. In dry and semi-arid areas, the problem of water scarcity can be resolved with the aid of fog collection techniques employing fog collectors. Fog collection is greatly influenced by a variety of factors. Some are design parameters, while others depend on ambient circumstances. Geometry and the mesh's shade coefficient are important design factors that can be modified and have an impact on the rate at which fog collects in fog collectors. The shape of the mesh holes and the process used to create the mesh serve to identify geometry and measure the shade coefficient. In this paper, a straightforward mathematical technique is proposed to make it easier to calculate the shade coefficient of various mesh shapes used in fog harvesting and to provide an approximation of the mesh volume and cost. Five alternative geometries were used: the rectangular mesh, square mesh, Raschel mesh, triangular mesh, and hexagonal mesh. The current simple method will facilitate the design of the fog mesh collector and can assist in achieving the ideal shade coefficient and most effective mesh geometry for fog harvesting. Rectangular meshes were solely used as an example to evaluate the results. Stainless steel rectangular meshes with various shade coefficients were tested for fog collection, and the amount of water collected by each mesh varied. It was concluded that the optimum shade coefficient ranged 50-60% for fog collection.
