Summary

Heat transfer models are used to simulate a solar chimney power plant that also yields fresh water, comparing a configuration with a humidifier alone against one adding a condenser. Spraying warmer water raises power output, up to roughly four times that of a conventional chimney, while stronger sunshine increases humidifier outlet temperature but lowers water yield and relative humidity.
