Summer-performance of inclined roof solar chimney for natural ventilation

In this paper, the effect of inclination of absorber on the airflow rate has been investigated in a solar induced ventilation system using roof solar chimney (RSC) concept. According to the results of the developed solution of the authors, it appears that the optimum absorber inclination depends upon the latitude of place, it varies from 40 to 60. The experimental investigations tally with the theoretical results
