Summary

Proposes a simplified analytical method for estimating what fraction of the total chimney pressure drop should be taken by the turbine in a solar chimney power plant, since this fraction determines power output. The resulting optimal values, mostly between 0.8 and 0.9, agree with earlier work, which makes the method suitable for quick preliminary assessments of plant potential.
