Summary
Analytical test of the common rule that a solar chimney power plant gives maximum fluid power when the turbine takes two-thirds of the available pressure difference. Using a power-law model and Schlaich's collector model, the optimal fraction turns out to depend on collector efficiency. Assuming constant pressure potential underestimates performance and points to higher flow and lower turbine pressure drop than optimal.
