Case Study of a Solar Chimney in Mansoura, Egypt

Summary

Field measurements on a small pilot solar chimney at Mansoura University, with a 100 m² square collector and an 8 m tall chimney, recorded temperatures, solar radiation and airflow over two September days. The tests show that warmer air under the collector produces faster airflow through the chimney, highlighting how ambient conditions shape the system's performance.
