Summary
Examines how the height of the chimney affects local airflow behaviour in a small solar chimney power plant prototype built at the University of Sfax, Tunisia. Ansys Fluent simulations, validated against measurements taken on the rig, indicate that chimney height has a strong influence on the plant's local flow and thermal characteristics.
