Solar chimney power plants (SCPPs) collect air heated over a large area on the ground and exhaust it through turbine or turbines located near base of tall to produce renewable electricity. SCPP design in practice is likely be specific site variable size, both which require purpose-built turbine. If cannot mass produced, unlike wind turbines, for example, they should as cheap possible manufactur...

with regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

The paper examines the effect of the solar chimney’s stack height, depth, width and inlet position on the interior performance (air temperature and speed at 1.20 m height above the ground) as well as proposes an optimal tropical solar chimney design. Simulations show that the output air temperature remains constant while the solar chimney’s width is the most significant factor influencing outpu...

The solar chimney power plant system (abbreviated as SCPPS) is a clean and pollution-free facility for generating electric power. To improve the efficiency, bank of baffles can be arranged under collector in SCPPS. ANSYS Fluent 18.2 was used to numerically simulate 3D models SCPPS with or without baffles, an experimental apparatus built verification. There are seven different types model discus...

Methane (CH4) is the second largest contributor to global warming among all greenhouses gases. A solar chimney power plant integrated with a photocatalytic reactor (SCPP-PCR) promising large-scale method for removing CH4 from atmosphere. This study used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigate performance and factors influencing oxidation of methane by SCPP-PCR system. The geometry SCPP s...
