Numerical Investigation of Collector Area Ratio Effects on Buoyancy-driven Flow and Pressure Development in a Solar Chimney Power Plant
Solar chimney power plants (SCPPs) convert buoyancy-driven airflow into renewable electricity, and their performance strongly depends on geometric design parameters. While chimney height and collector diameter have been extensively investigated, the influence of the collector outlet-to-inlet area ratio (OIAR) remains i...
