Solar chimney as a reliable renewable energy system has attracted increasing attention
from engineers to conquer the current energy crisis. The main challenge of designing a solar …

The solar chimney is one concept explored by building engineers and designers for
reducing heat gain and inducing natural cooling in both commercial and residential …

Solar chimneys absorb solar radiation heat to create stack effect which induces airflow for
natural ventilation of buildings. Solar chimneys have been studied mainly in two forms …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) model of solar chimney power plant (SCPP) is solved by
componential fluid dynamic (CFD) method for Tehran climate data. The model geometry is …

Roof solar chimney is one type of solar chimney to enhance the natural ventilation in
buildings. Under the factor that previous studies numerically modelled and validated their …

This study investigates performance of a vertical solar chimney, which absorbs solar energy
and induces airflow for natural ventilation and cooling of dwellings, under effects of walls …

The solar chimneys used in buildings are passive solar devices which improve natural
ventilation. A detailed exergetic analysis has been developed in this work, both for general …

A prototype of a solar chimney with a built-in latent heat storage system for prolonging
ventilation system operation until evening/night or even 24 hours was designed and …

The scope of this work was to investigate the summer ventilation performance of three high
thermal inertia solar thermosyphonic configurations, used as night natural ventilation …

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 …
