Summary
Proposes adding a bell-mouth inlet as a third component to a solar chimney power plant with a converging-diverging chimney, alongside a modified collector. Compared with a conventional design, air velocity rises by roughly 270%, with higher and more uniform static pressure recovery along the chimney. Scaled up from a 50 kW reference plant, the design reaches about 1738 kW.
