Summary
Thesis that models a solar chimney power plant planned for a site near Sishen, South Africa, by solving discretised energy and draught equations. Using meteorological data for 21 December, it reports power output over the day, solar absorption in each collector component, air temperature and pressure through the system, turbine pressure drop, collector heat transfer coefficients and ground temperature profiles.
