Summary
Proposes a building air-conditioning concept in which waste heat from a solar chimney regenerates a desiccant dehumidifier and powers an adsorption chiller. Heat and mass transfer are simulated for the climate of Gafsa, Tunisia, including airflow patterns and temperature fields inside the conditioned room, to assess the system's suitability for low-carbon cooling of homes and offices.
