Dynamic-physical Model to Predict the Performance of a Solar Chimney in a Warm-humid Climate with Different Absorbent Materials Luis Godoy-Vaca; Manuel Almaguer; Juan Kastillo; Javier Martinez; Andrea Lobato-Cordero Using a time-dependent physical model coded in Python, the work simulates how a solar chimney ventilates at night in a warm-humid climate, having first validated it against dry-warm field data. Of three wall options compared (two types of brick and reinforced concrete), solid brick gave the best results because its large thermal mass absorbs heat by day and gives it back after dark.

Summary
Using a time-dependent physical model coded in Python, the work simulates how a solar chimney ventilates at night in a warm-humid climate, having first validated it against dry-warm field data. Of three wall options compared (two types of brick and reinforced concrete), solid brick gave the best results because its large thermal mass absorbs heat by day and gives it back after dark.
