A Mathematical Model for Determination of Electric Energy Performance of Small Solar Chimney System in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand

Summary

An energy-balance model estimates the electricity a small solar chimney with a 10 m tower could generate in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, and how weather and geometry affect output. Airflow in the tower exceeds twice the outdoor wind speed, and monthly efficiency varies between roughly 9% and 18%, peaking in April.
