Abstract:
Solar chimneys have gained significant attention as an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution for passive ventilation and renewable energy generation. The divergence angle, which refers to the angle between the solar chimney's sidewalls as they extend upwards, plays a crucial role in determining the system's performance. This research aims to investigate the effects of divergence angle on solar chimney operation, with a focus on airflow characteristics. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are conducted to assess the airflow patterns, velocity distribution, and pressure drop within the chimney for different divergence angles. The research findings indicate that the divergence angle significantly influences the system's performance. The study considered four basic parameters: Pressure drop, Velocity, and Turbulent Kinetic Energy and the optimized value i.e., 312 Pa, 21.5 m/s, and 61.5 J/kg is obtained at divergence angle of 5-6°. The results showed that the divergence angle of 5-6° is the best suitable for high power production for a solar chimney power plant.
