Experimental Study on A House Model with A Solar Chimney

Summary

Outdoor tests in Mumbai on a 1 m cubic plywood house model fitted with a glazed, insulated roof collector and a 1 m tall solar chimney. Measurements over two March days show how solar irradiance and the house's East-West or North-South orientation affect temperatures at several points and the induced airflow rate.
