Summary
Proposes coupling a solar chimney power plant with a nuclear plant, routing condenser waste heat into the collector so the chimney acts as a dry cooling tower while generating extra electricity. CFD and thermal modelling of a 1000 MW reactor show combined efficiency rising from about 35% to 42%, making the scheme attractive where cooling water is scarce.
