Summary
CFD simulations in ANSYS Fluent, paired with a factorial sensitivity analysis, assess a solar chimney meant to both ventilate a room and generate electricity in Nigerian buildings. Interactions between chimney height, chimney width and solar heat flux proved significant. Output reached about 25 W/m², with air velocities near 1.5 m/s, while room temperature stayed at its initial value.
