Summary

Conjugate heat transfer simulations of solar chimneys used to heat and ventilate homes, coupling convection, wall conduction and surface radiation across a range of chimney geometries, wall properties and emissivities. Accounting for radiation between surfaces alters the airflow and temperature patterns, raising both the Nusselt number and the induced air flow rate, and thus improving ventilation.
