Summary
Experiments and three-dimensional CFD simulations of a solar chimney prototype in Aswan, Egypt, with a 20 m chimney, examine how the collector's shape affects plant performance by modelling temperature and velocity fields. With the same sunlit area, a square collector delivered about 7.6% more output power than a circular one.
