Effect of the chimney design on the thermal characteristics in solar chimney power plant Haythem Nasraoui; Zied Driss; Hedi Kchaou CFD comparison of four chimney geometries for a solar chimney power plant: two cylindrical tubes of different diameter and two flared designs, one conical and one hyperboloid, varying the outlet-to-inlet diameter ratio. Validated against a tested prototype, the simulations show that widening the chimney directly improves performance, with the hyperboloid form giving the highest power at unchanged height.
