Solar chimneys as an alternative for natural ventilation in Bucaramanga Omar Andres Ardila Sanchez Develops a way to evaluate the thermal comfort a solar chimney can provide when naturally ventilating a room in Bucaramanga, Colombia, pairing a MATLAB airflow and heat-load model with ANSYS Fluent CFD checked against a scale test bench. A chimney about 4 m long, tilted at 55°, keeps the room comfortable under the ASHRAE adaptive standard without notably raising construction costs.
