A numerical methodology has been developed to analyze the thermo-hydrodynamic aspect of airflow occurring in solar chimney power plants (SCPP) according some dominant parameters. The general curvilinear coordinates finite volume method (GCCFVM), which is necessary case turbulent flow through complex geometries, used this work. governing equations describing steady state fluid are solved numeric...

Previous studies have shown that the crosswind reduces output power of a SCPP (solar chimney plant) with deflection plume at exit and separation wind flow there downstream. The present numerical investigation was focused on effect stack configuration performance SCPP. In this paper, prototype in Manzanares simulated, where Boussinesq approximation used for solving continuity, Navier–Stokes ener...

Archaeal community structures in microhabitats in a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney structure were evaluated through the combined use of culture-independent molecular analyses and enrichment culture methods. A black smoker chimney was obtained from the PACMANUS site in the Manus Basin near Papua New Guinea, and subsamples were obtained from vertical and horizontal sections. The elemental com...
