Transient thermal analysis of a solar chimney for buildings with three different types of absorbing materials: Copper plate/PCM/concrete wall J. Xaman; R. Vargas-Lopez; M. Gijon-Rivera; Ivett Zavala-Guillen; Maria Jose Jimenez; J. Arce Transient conjugate heat transfer simulations compare building solar chimneys whose absorber is a copper plate, a PCM layer or a concrete wall, for east, south and west orientations on Madrid's hottest day. Copper gives the highest airflow and efficiency (up to about 34%), PCM comes second and concrete last. The PCM melts fully only with west orientation and otherwise stays partly melted.

Summary
Transient conjugate heat transfer simulations compare building solar chimneys whose absorber is a copper plate, a PCM layer or a concrete wall, for east, south and west orientations on Madrid's hottest day. Copper gives the highest airflow and efficiency (up to about 34%), PCM comes second and concrete last. The PCM melts fully only with west orientation and otherwise stays partly melted.
