..., and overall heat loss coefficient are quantified by Hottel–Whillier–Bliss equation in the case of thermosiphon and forced circulation systems. The effect of scaling on mass flow and heat transfer rate for both the systems are quantified with experimental validation. Experimentally found mass flow rate is 50...

...Anthony J. Gannon; Theodor W. von Backstro¨m An ideal air standard cycle analysis of the solar chimney power plant gives the limiting performance, ideal efficiencies and relationships between main variables. The present paper includes chimney friction, system, turbine and exit kinetic energy losses...

... of all the thermodynamic variables as dependent on chimney height, wall friction, additional losses, internal drag and area change. The method gives reasonable answers even over a single 1500 m step length used for illustration, but better accuracy is possible with multiple steps. It is also applicable...
