Summary

Taguchi design (L32 array) combined with FLUENT simulations is used to tune five parameters of a vertical solar chimney serving a 1 m³ room in Jaipur, India, targeting air change rate and outlet velocity. East-facing windows, a window-to-wall ratio of 0.2 and narrow air gaps perform best, while glazing type matters little, so acrylic could replace glass.
