Summary
Experiments on a small indoor solar chimney (1.22 m collector, 1 m tower) inside a purpose-built laboratory with a solar simulator and temperature control, measuring air temperature and updraft speed under different irradiance levels and chimney heights. The measurements validate a collector thermal model, map the collector's temperature field and point to upper limits on collector radius and chimney height.
