Summary
Proposes a solar chimney with a surrounding circular collector to ventilate gardens and greenhouses and so limit the spread of pests, using an analytical flow model to estimate the airflow. Taller chimneys and a larger collector-to-chimney radius ratio raise the flow rate, friction cuts it by up to 13% for a 1 m diameter chimney, and tall chimneys work best at low-altitude sites.
