الوصف: | Analytical and numerical studies were carried out to investigate the performance of the combined solar chimney for power generating system and ventilation based on a developed mathematical model. Numerical solution of the problem was based on the continuity, momentum and energy equations for turbulent, steady-flow using k-ε model and the finite volume method using ANSYS Fluent CFD package. The analysis domain was a 2-D room of 4 x 4 m2 with solar chimney of various dimension attached. The results obtained revealed that Chimney Height (CH), Collector Width (CW), Solar Heat Flux (SHF) and ambient wind speed were found to be the most important factors in the design of the SC. Results showed that the room mass flow rate increased from 1 kg/s with no wind effect to about 30 kg/s with induced wind of 1 m/s. The mass flow rate increased from about 6 to 9 kg/s at CH of 5 and 8 m respectively for no wind condition and SHF of 400 W/m2. Power outputs were obtained for the average velocity of the chimney, collector area and chimney height. It was observed from results obtained from both the numerical and analytical analysis that power outputs of the power generating systems increases with increase in heat energy in the collector space area which is a function of the global solar radiation intensity, the collector area, and the chimney height. The power outputs results showed that with SHF of 400 W/m2 for CH of 5 and 9 m were 33 and 85 W/m2 respectively. The respective power output for SHF of 200 and 1,000 W/m2 were 25 and 47 W/m2. Furthermore, the optimum values of CH, CW and SHF were 5 m, 1 m and 417 W/m2 respectively under no wind condition with room temperature of 300 K and chimney velocity 0.12 m/s. It was also observed that with the increase in the mass flow rate in the chimney, the ventilation requirements were adequately met. |
