Performance analysis of a waste heat recovery solar chimney for nocturnal use

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2021
Solar chimney is one of the best ways to produce artificial wind to drive wind turbines. But the main problem associated with is that it’s dependence on solar energy and hence can’t be used during night times.

NUMERICAL MODELING FOR A SOLAR CHIMNEY [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Al-Azhar University Engineering Sector, 2019
In the current study, potential improvements in both flow field and heat transfer characteristics ofa prototype solar chimney for power generation through passive flow control approaches havebeen numerically examined. The numerical modeling was conducted for three different schemesto enhance the velocity magnitude at the entrance of the chimney.
