Summary

Matlab Simulink model of a solar chimney for ventilation, coupling heat transfer through a multi-layer wall containing phase change material, characterised by differential scanning calorimetry, with a pressure-based airflow model. Calibrated against earlier laboratory measurements, it reproduces chimney behaviour with over 90% correlation, though it still needs adjusting to match field data.
