Summary
Investigates how the height and shape of the guide wall at the collector–chimney junction affect solar chimney power plant output, combining a small test rig with simulations of a large plant. A taller guide wall lowers airflow but strengthens the driving force, raising peak power by roughly 40% with a cylindrical chimney and about 9% with a divergent one.
