Optimizing Power Output in Solar Chimney Power Plants: Influence of Collector Area and Chimney Height
Abstract: This research paper investigates the crucial factors that determine the power output of solar chimney power plants, specifically the collector area and chimney height. A larger collector area efficiently gathers and heats a larger volume of air, and a steeper chimney height raises pressure differences via the stack effect, resulting in greater power generation. The study explores the significance of heat retention within the collector area, enabling continuous operation, even …

Enhancing the Heat Transfer in the Thermal Chimney by Attaching the Fin under CFD Analysis
Abstract: The primary and secondary heaters in heat exchangers were numerically evaluated at nominal temperatures of 140°C for the primary heaters, 100°C for the secondary heaters, and 20°C for the ambient temperature in order to validate the design idea for enhancing the air temperature. The “convective heat transfer” of air in a thermal chimney built to laboratory size using two different types of electrical heaters and a rectangular cross-section of constant …

Use of Titanium as filter on chimney
Abstract: Industrial chimneys are one of the largest contributors to air pollution, releasing a wide range of harmful gases and fine particulate matter into the atmosphere. These emissions significantly degrade environmental quality and contribute to long-term public health risks such as respiratory diseases and cardiovascular complications. Traditional air pollution control devices used in industrial exhaust systems, including electrostatic precipitators and bag filters, often struggle with high operational costs, frequent maintenance, and …

Study of Analysis, Design and Performance of Fin
Abstract: This paper discusses the use of extended surface heat transfer in heat exchangers. The size and cost of an exchanger is dependent upon the heat duty, the allowable pressure drop, and the geometry of the heat transfer area. The dominance of this resistance is often broken by the use of extended surfaces (fins), which will result in a lower area and hence smaller exchanger. This paper will consider which, if …
