Performance study of a solar chimney air heater

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2019
The thermal efficiency of conventional solar air heaters could be significantly improved by making some design configurations. In this study, a solar chimney air heater was employed and the effect of glazing, fins and convection (natural/forced) on the ...

Numerical Simulation of the Collector Angle Effect on the Performance of the Solar Chimney Power Plant

Al-Khawarizmi Engineering Journal, 2017
Sloped solar chimney system is a solar chimney power plant with a sloped collector. Practically, the sloped collector can function as a chimney, then the chimney height can be reduced and the construction cost would be reduced.The continuity, Naver ...

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Performance of a Solar Chimney Model Part II: Model Development and Validation

Solar Energy and Sustainable Development, 2016
A mathematical model based on the momentum, continuity and energy balance equations was developed to simulate the behaviour of the air f ow inside the solar chimney system. The model can estimate the power output and performance of solar chimney systems.

Vainu Bappu Memorial Lecture: What is a sunspot?

, 2009
Sunspots have been known in the West since Galileo Galilei and Thomas Harriot first used telescopes to observe the Sun nearly four centuries ago; they have been known to the Chinese for more than two thousand years. They appear as relatively dark patches
