Summary
Finite-volume simulations assess a solar chimney whose air channel is split by the absorber, used for daytime ventilation in hot-humid Merida, Mexico, using hourly 2014 data for each month's coldest and warmest days. Even in the least favourable conditions it moves about 0.083 kg/s of air, giving roughly 8–11 air changes per hour in a small bedroom, enough to meet ASHRAE recommendations.
