A finite volume method for the analysis of the thermo-flow field of a solar chimney collector
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the implementation of the finite volume numerical
method applicable to non-orthogonal control volumes and the application of
the method to calculate the thermo-flow field within ...
Performance evaluation of a solar chimney power plant
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2000-12)
A solar chimney power plant consists of a central chimney that is surrounded by a
transparent canopy located a few meters above ground level. The ground beneath
this canopy or collector as it is known is heated by the ...
A numerical analysis of the flow field surrounding a solar chimney power plant
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the flow field above a proposed solar chimney power plant, without
a cross wind, using a commercial numerical solver in the form of CFX 4-4 by AEA
Technology plc. The governing ...
Solar Tower Power Plant Performance Characteristics
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2004-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates energy generation by large-scale solar tower power
plants. The performance characteristics of a so-called reference plant with a
4000 m diameter glass collector roof and a 1500 ...
