Impact of the geometry of divergent chimneys on the power output of a solar chimney power plant
Energy, 2017 Abstract Divergent chimney is proposed to be an alternative for Solar Chimney Power Plants (SCPPs) because of their reported remarkable improvement in power output over cylindrical chimneys. However, the power output of divergent SCPPs in those studies changed from several percentage to >100 times higher than that of cylindrical ones.
