Analysis of the Airflow in a Prototype of a Solar Chimney Dryer Cristiana Brasil Maia; Andre Guimaraes Ferreira; Ramon Molina Valle; Marcio Fonte Boa Cortez Field measurements on a solar chimney prototype at a Brazilian university, sized for drying crops, were used to understand how heated air moves through it. Over roughly nine months, readings of temperature, air speed, humidity and sunlight were logged both within the device and in its surroundings, giving a picture of the flow and allowing the materials' light transmission and absorption characteristics to be estimated.
