Effect of Divergent Chimneys on the Performance of a Solar Chimney Power Plant
Abstract This paper numerically examined the performance of divergent chimneys in solar chimney power plants with two shape-controlling parameters, that is, the area ratio of the chimney exit over the entrance and the divergent angle. Compared with the conventional cylindrical chimneys, a higher power output in the divergent-chimney system could be ...

A REVIEW PAPER ON SOLAR CHIMNEY
In this research article the review is done on solar chimney.The solar radiation is abundant in nature and the radiation energy is used to convert into sustainable energy.The radiant energy is used to heat the fluid (air).The inclined canopy helps the air to move towards the tower having the lift force.The lift force is used to run the turbine to ...
