Abstract

In this research, thermal investigation was performed on a solar chimney power plant system. 2D numerical model was developed using RANS equations with k-epsilon turbulence model to investigate air flow behavior in the system. The effects of chimney height and heat flux on the flow parameters were analyzed. The results of this study showed that the chimney height and heat flux are important factors for enhancement the performance of solar chimney power plant system.
