A strategy is described for the construction of a reference model design solar chimneys that includes variations in geometry and materials chimney's components. The will be developed from dynamic simulations transient state chimney under irradiation real conditions. based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) generalization properties allowing predictions multiple geometries chimney. can serve a...

The configuration and safety factor of rockfill dams design depend on materials used in construction the dam. In some regions, available for using as impermeable element dam body are dispersive it is inevitable to consider dispersivity material construction. Internal erosion through cracks or other openings embankment most concern soils. authors have designed an by soil East Africa after finali...

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...

Solar chimney power plants are plants based on solar thermal power including three parts of collector, chimney and turbine, which is able to produce electrical energy. One of the effective parameters in increasing the power production is the collector angles versus horizon. In the present study, a numerical analysis of a solar chimney power plant for different angles of the collector (divergent...

An aortic arch banding procedure was performed on an 82-year-old man for treatment of proximal type I endoleaks 2 days after he had undergone emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair with the chimney technique for a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography after the second procedure demonstrated significant shrinkage of the aneurysmal sac as well as a complete d...

We present a novel seismic interpretational workflow applied to large gas-chimney located above the Marjoram Gas Field, offshore NW Borneo. The is hosted by clay-dominated sealing sequence characterised meter-scale silt beds. affected complex network of normal faults. gas chimney, interpretable as vertical anomaly cluster, composed several discrete amplitude anomalies and result leakage from cr...
