Mathematical Modelling of the Performance of a Solar Chimney Power Plant with Divergent Chimneys
Energy Procedia, 2017 Abstract Chimney is a critical component influencing the performance of a Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP). An enhancement on the power output of SCPPs with divergent chimneys was observed in a number of experimental and numerical studies using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models.
