Numerical investigation of a sloped solar chimney power plant: a three-dimensional study Hamzeh Z. Lorestani; Mohammad Sadegh Valipour Three-dimensional CFD simulations of a solar chimney power plant whose inclined collector doubles as the chimney, including a heat storage layer, examine how solar irradiance and turbine pressure drop shape the flow and temperature fields. Unloaded air speed peaks near 17 m/s, output reaches about 50 kW at 1000 W/m2, each irradiance has an optimal turbine pressure drop, and performance matches a conventional plant.

Summary
Three-dimensional CFD simulations of a solar chimney power plant whose inclined collector doubles as the chimney, including a heat storage layer, examine how solar irradiance and turbine pressure drop shape the flow and temperature fields. Unloaded air speed peaks near 17 m/s, output reaches about 50 kW at 1000 W/m², each irradiance has an optimal turbine pressure drop, and performance matches a conventional plant.
