Abstract: Solar chimneys, also known as solar updraft towers, have gained significant attention as a renewable energy technology for both ventilation and power generation. This paper presents a
The airflow rates through the solar chimney are largely hampered with a small cavity depth and inlet height under the external wind. The performance of solar chimney can be enhanced with a high cavity, an appropriate cavity gap (usually 0.2-0.3 m), equivalent inlet and outlet area, and height/gap ratio of 10-15. high cavity and solar radiation.
