Experimental investigations on solar chimney for room ventilation Jyotirmay Mathur; N.K. Bansal; Sanjay Mathur; Meenakshi Jain; Anupma A small-scale solar chimney was tested in nine configurations of absorber height and glass-to-absorber gap to see how geometry affects room ventilation. Airflow grew as the height-to-gap ratio increased, consistent with a steady-state model, peaking at roughly 5.6 air changes per hour in a 27 m3 room under 700 W/m2 of sunlight.

Summary
A small-scale solar chimney was tested in nine configurations of absorber height and glass-to-absorber gap to see how geometry affects room ventilation. Airflow grew as the height-to-gap ratio increased, consistent with a steady-state model, peaking at roughly 5.6 air changes per hour in a 27 m³ room under 700 W/m² of sunlight.
