Solar chimney and building ventilation

Applied Energy, 2007
This study is concerned with the design of a solar chimney to induce ventilation in a building. CFD modelling techniques were used to assess the impacts of inclination angle, double glazing and low-emissivity finishes on the induced ventilation rate.

Performance of a solar chimney

Solar Energy, 2003
Abstract A mathematical model of a solar chimney was proposed in order to predict its performance under varying ambient and geometrical features. Steady state heat transfer equations were set up using a thermal resistance network and solved using matrix inversion. Existing correlations of heat transfer coefficients were utilised.

Analysis of chimney height for solar chimney power plant

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2009
Current in solar chimney power plant that drives turbine generators to generate electricity is driven by buoyancy resulting from higher temperature than the surroundings at different heights. In this paper, the maximum chimney height for convection avoiding negative buoyancy at the latter chimney and the optimal chimney height for maximum power output ...

Floating Solar Chimney versus Concrete Solar Chimney Power Plants

2007 International Conference on Clean Electrical Power, 2007
A solar chimney power plant has three major components: (1) A circular solar collector (Greenhouse) (2) A tall cylinder in the center of the solar collector ( Solar Chimney) (3) A set of air turbines geared to electric generators around the bottom of the solar chimney The air warms up inside the greenhouse by the solar irradiation and, due to its ...

Constructal solar chimney configuration

International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2010
In this study, we describe the constructal-theory search for the geometry of a solar chimney. The objective is to increase the power production over the area occupied by the plant. The ratio height/radius, maximum mass flow rate and maximum power under the constraints of a fixed area and volume are determined.

Solar chimney turbine characteristics

Solar Energy, 2004
A typical layout of a solar chimney power plant has a single axial turbine with radial inflow through inlet guide vanes at the base of the chimney. Turbine efficiency depends on the turbine blade row and turbine diffuser loss coefficients. The paper presents analytical equations in terms of turbine flow and load coefficient and degree of reaction, to ...
