LoginDue to the renewal of interest for solar chimneys (that convert thermal energy into the kinetic energy of air movement) , experiments were carried out in a controlled environment, with a full-scale chimney, where both air-velocity and air-temperature were measured.
The aim of the project was to get a better knowledge of :
- optimal gap to height ratio
- optimal gap to different heat input ratio
- optimal inclination angle
- methods to estimate the flow rate.
