Summary
Steady-state energy balances for the glass cover, channel air and metal absorber plate of a small solar chimney fitted to an existing building wall are solved numerically to obtain temperature profiles and airflow. As solar irradiance rises, peak instantaneous efficiency climbs from about 28% to 37% and the induced airflow from roughly 61 to 147 m³/h.
