Effect of the turbine diameter on the generated power of a solar chimney power plant

Summary

Examines how the size of the turbine affects electricity output in a solar chimney power plant by comparing four turbine diameters. The velocity, temperature and pressure fields are analysed for each case. Power output rises as the turbine diameter grows, so the authors present a larger turbine as a useful design choice.
