Solar Chimney Turbine: Part 2 of 2 — Experimental Results Anthony J. Gannon; Theodor W. von Backstrom A model turbine built for solar chimney power plants was tested to check how well the proposed design performs, compare the measurements with predicted values and identify ways to improve it. Across its intended operating range, the turbine converted flow energy at roughly 85–90% efficiency on a total-pressure basis, dropping to about 77–80% when exit kinetic losses are counted.
