Summary
Measures the temperature distribution under the collector of China's first pilot solar chimney power setup, finding air slightly warmer on the south side and an inlet-to-collector temperature rise of about 24 °C on a warm day versus 12 °C on a cool one. Also estimates the electricity potential of such plants across China and the CO2 emissions they could avoid relative to coal.
