Summary

Thermodynamic analysis of the work potential that atmospheric air gains in a solar chimney collector, examining how collector heat gain, humidity, altitude, chimney type and plant efficiency affect it. A vortex forming downstream of a ground-level turbine is shown to sustain low pressure and could replace a tall solid chimney, with conditions likened to a tornado.
