Analytical Modeling and Optimization of a Solar Chimney Power Plant Cherif Khelifi; Fateh Ferroudji; Mohammed Ouali A steady-state one-dimensional heat and mass transfer model of a solar chimney power plant, built in Matlab-Simulink, is used to assess how geometry, operating and ambient conditions affect performance. Solar irradiance, collector area and tower height prove most influential; the air warms by about 13 °C through the system, and overall plant efficiency reaches roughly 2.6%.

Summary
A steady-state one-dimensional heat and mass transfer model of a solar chimney power plant, built in Matlab-Simulink, is used to assess how geometry, operating and ambient conditions affect performance. Solar irradiance, collector area and tower height prove most influential; the air warms by about 13 °C through the system, and overall plant efficiency reaches roughly 2.6%.
