Air flow and thermal efficiency characteristics in solar chimneys and Trombe Walls S.A.M. Burek; Ahmed Habeb Experiments on a roughly 1 m2 vertical channel, heated electrically to mimic a solar chimney or Trombe wall, measured how heat input and gap depth affect buoyancy-driven airflow and collector efficiency. Mass flow rose with both heat input and channel depth, while efficiency depended only on heat input. The results are summarised as dimensionless correlations.
