Summary
Experimental solar chimney power plant with a redesigned collector and a sun-tracking mirror that concentrates heat at the chimney base. Measurements combined with a simulation algorithm show the extra heating raises peak base temperature by about 10% and airflow velocity by about 22%, while the accompanying drop in air density stays small and does not offset the gain in theoretical output power.
