Summary
Three-dimensional CFD modelling of a solar chimney power plant sized like the Manzanares prototype and sited in Lamerd, southern Iran, examining how turbine pressure drop and solar irradiance affect performance. Seasonal output ranges roughly from 40 to 200 kW, and both parameters strongly influence the plant's first- and second-law efficiencies.
