Experimental study and numerical analysis of radiative losses of single-channel solar chimney Carlos Enrique Torres-Aguilar; J. Arce; J. Xaman; Edgar Vicente Macias-Melo Laboratory tests on a single-channel solar chimney, varying the air gap and the heat input to the absorber, are combined with a radiation exchange model to track where energy is lost. Radiation leaving through the channel openings is the largest loss, up to roughly a quarter of the input, and it shrinks as airflow rises; the glazing loses about 10–15%.
