Summary

Doctoral work on a building-integrated solar chimney fitted with Rubitherm RT44 phase change material panels, tested in the laboratory and on site against a conventional chimney. A numerical model of the chimney is built and checked, then used in a two-objective optimisation seeking maximum outlet airflow while keeping the channel warm enough for the PCM to melt.
