Abstract
The paper reported the measured airflow rates in a solar chimney installed on a detached test house in Hangzhou. The one-week data showed that in addition to buoyancy flow enforced by the solar radiation, significant airflow was also observed in inverse conditions when the indoor temperature was higher than the outdoor temperature even with no solar radiation. Performance of three analytical models, the single-zone model, stratified model, and plume model, was examined to predict the airflow rate of the solar chimney model. The results showed that the plume model and the modified single-zone model agreed with the measurements reasonably well, while the stratified model failed to predict the airflow in inverse conditions.
