Solar chimneys: simulation and experiment
Energy and Buildings, 2000The use of solar chimneys in buildings is one way to increment natural ventilation and, as a consequence, to improve indoor air quality. They are similar to conventional chimneys except that the south wall is replaced by a glazing. In order to compare the behaviour of a solar chimney with a conventional one, one of each was built in Porto.

A mathematical model of a solar chimney
Renewable Energy, 2003A simple mathematical model of a solar chimney is proposed. The physical model is similar to the Trombe wall. One side of the chimney is provided with a glass cover which with the other three solid walls of the chimney form a channel through which the heated air could rise and flow by natural convection.

Solar chimney power plants for high latitudes
Solar Energy, 2005A solar chimney system for power production at high latitudes has been designed and its performance has been evaluated. A mathematical model and a code on MATLAB platform have been developed based on monthly average meteorological data and thermodynamic cycle. The thermal performance of a 5 MW nominal power production plant at three locations in Canada,

Solar heating—Ventilating system using a solar chimney
Solar Energy, 1982Abstract This paper presents the theoretical and experimental studies of a modified Trombe wall collector. As it is well known, the Trombe wall collector is a self convective flow solar air heating collector with thermal energy stored in the mass of the wall.

International Conference on Sustainable Power Generation and Supply (SUPERGEN 2012), 2012
Comparison experimental devices with the different chimney structural parameters for the solar chimney power generation system integrated with seawater desalination have been set up. The performances of these integrated devices have been tested and researched comparatively under the actual weather condition.

Numerical modelling of a solar chimney power plant [PDF]
, 2015 A solar chimney power plant is a relatively new concept for power generation, based on renewable energy, combining the greenhouse effect with the chimney suction. The present study involves mathematical modelling of the system, based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach.

Floating Solar Chimney Technology: A Solar Proposal for China
2008The Floating Solar Chimney (FSC) Technology Power Plants, are made of three major components: • A large solar collector with a transparent roof that warms the air below it, due to the solar irradiation. • A tall lighter-than-air hollow cylinder placed in the center of the solar collector that is up-drafting the warm air, through its ...
