...P. M. Sivaram; S. Dinesh Kumar; M. Premalatha; T. Sivasankar; A. Arunagiri Solar chimney is a passive renewable technology, adopted and followed widely for the application of room ventilation and power production. It requires a wide space for operation. Hence, an effective heat transfer mechanism...

...Dara Khalid Khidhir; Soorkeu A. Atrooshi The principle of solar chimney power plant (SCPP) is based on harvesting the thermal spectrum of solar radiation and converting it to mechanical energy by the means of a collector, a wind turbine, and a chimney. In this work, a number of experiments were...

...Fifi N. M. Elwekeel; Antar M. M. Abdala; Muhammad Mustafizur Rahman The effects of collector roughness shape on the performance of solar chimney power plant were investigated in this study. The roughness shapes of triangular, curved, and square grooves were chosen and were compared to smooth case...

... Building Heating Solar Solar chimney The object of this work is to explore a novel approach for a classical thermosyphon. Here, instead the fluid motion is driven by the energy released during the spontaneous mixing of a low-concentration and high-concentration solutions, which are generated...

...Xinping Zhou; Yangyang Xu This technical brief develops a theoretical model of all the pressure losses in the solar chimney power plant (SCPP, also called solar updraft power plant) and analyzes the pressure losses for different chimney internal stiffening appurtenance (SA) structures, different...

...Xinping Zhou; Yangyang Xu; Yaxiong Hou In this paper, a theoretical model of solar chimney power plants (SCPPs) is presented based on compressible ideal gas law assumptions. The theoretical optimal turbine pressure drop factors (TPDFs) for constant and nonconstant densities (CD and NCD) are studied...
