Summary
A three-dimensional CFD model of a solar chimney power plant based on the Manzanares prototype geometry is run with Tehran weather data and assessed through energy and exergy analysis. Electrical output swings strongly with solar radiation, from about 180 W on winter nights to 64 kW at summer noon, and exergy efficiency peaks near 29%.
