AN INVESTIGATION ON A SOLAR CHIMNEY MODEL

Summary

A laboratory solar chimney with a 1 m collector radius was tested while varying chimney height and collector entrance gap, recording air speed and temperature over time. The tallest chimney (4 m) combined with the lowest inlet gap gave the best performance, and CFD simulations of the same geometry matched the measurements well.
