Solar-induced ventilation could be provided by incorporating the solar chimney with buildings. This technique is getting popular in new constructions which are intended to exploit renewable resources to save conventional energy without sacrificing indoor thermal comfort and air quality. Authors [1] [2] have been conducted various experimental and theoretical studies on ventilation performance o...

this paper expands a model different from existing models to analyze the cost and benefit of areinforced concrete solar chimney power plant (rcscpp) built in the desert regions of iran.based on the model and some assumptions for values of parameters, this paper calculates totalnet present value (tnpv) and the minimum electricity price in each phase by dividing the wholeservice period into four ...

Previous studies have shown that the crosswind reduces output power of a SCPP (solar chimney plant) with deflection plume at exit and separation wind flow there downstream. The present numerical investigation was focused on effect stack configuration performance SCPP. In this paper, prototype in Manzanares simulated, where Boussinesq approximation used for solving continuity, Navier–Stokes ener...

This study presents a novel hybrid solar chimney power plant (HSCPP) design. The HSCPP preserves the typical (SCPP), with an additional seawater pool at base and water sprinklers top. new design configuration offers opportunity to run system during daytime as traditional SCPP downdraft cooling tower night. performance of was analyzed in 16 cities Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA) that span entire geog...

Preliminary note This paper deals with the numerical analysis procedure and results of flow simulation through solar chimney. Because of relatively low Reynolds numbers, some aerodynamic improvements could be obtained. The paper links input heat energy with geometry or air flow parameters. Basic solar chimney geometry is carried out and analyzed with CFD application in three dimensional domain....

The classical solar chimney offers passive electricity and water production at a low operating cost. However, the suffers from high capital cost energy output density per construction area. investment increases levelized of (LCOE), making design less economically competitive versus other technologies. This work presents new noteworthy for maximizing production. was achieved by integrating cooli...
