EFFECT OF A DIFFUSER TOWER ON THE POWER OUTPUT OF A SOLAR CHIMNEY POWER PLANT

Summary

Examines replacing the conventional cylindrical tower of the Manzanares solar chimney power plant with a diverging diffuser-shaped tower, estimating how much power the plant would have produced with this design. An alternative construction to the original sheet-steel ring structure is also proposed to make the diffuser geometry feasible.
