Summary

Simulates airflow and heat transfer in a solar chimney power plant fitted with a ground energy storage layer, using separate models for collector, chimney and storage. As irradiance rises from 200 to 800 W/m², the storage layer's heat storage ratio first falls then rises, airflow speeds up while relative static pressure drops, and both chimney outlet and storage temperatures climb markedly.
