Experimental Investigation of Using Solar Chimney to Induce Natural Ventilation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The vertical panels of solar chimney have internal dimensions of 2000mm height、1000mm length. Under the condition of heat flux and chimney gap variety, we research chimney interior velocity field. Experimental Results show that airflow increased with chimney gap augmentation, the airflow and air velocity augment with the increase of solar radiant intensity, and air velocity decreases with the increase of solar chimney gap. Air velocity is higher near the heated surfaces than it in the middle chimney. Meanwhile velocity boundary layers form near the heated surface.
