Effects of Novel Collector Roof on Solar Chimney Power Plant Performance Fifi N. M. Elwekeel; Antar M. M. Abdala; Muhammad Mustafizur Rahman Examines how triangular, curved or square grooves on the collector roof of a solar chimney power plant change its behaviour compared with a smooth roof, also varying groove number, position, height and width. Triangular grooves gave the largest gains, raising power output by 169% at 1000 W/m2 and the strongest heat-transfer improvement, while groove width had little influence under strong radiation.

Summary
Examines how triangular, curved or square grooves on the collector roof of a solar chimney power plant change its behaviour compared with a smooth roof, also varying groove number, position, height and width. Triangular grooves gave the largest gains, raising power output by 169% at 1000 W/m² and the strongest heat-transfer improvement, while groove width had little influence under strong radiation.
