A Parametric Study of a Pilot Solar Chimney Power Plant Using CFD

Using preliminary evaluations, a pilot solar chimney power plant with a 1-kW nominal power output was designed and built in Kerman City, Iran. This power plant produced about 400-W electrical power at high solar irradiance, which was 60% less than its nominal potential capacity. This investigation s...
