Natural Convection in Solar Chimney for Ventilation |
| Abstract |
This paper describes a study of free laminar convective flow by buoyancy forces of thermal and mass diffusion through a asymmetric heated solar chimney with a flow restriction at its lower end. A finite difference method with step by step was used to solve the governing equations in dimensionless form. The relationship between the flow rate and the Grashof number is presented in terms of the ratio of the unheated length of the channel to the heated length and also in terms of heat flux ratio. |
