Abstract:A simplified solar updraft device adapted from the Trombe wall concept was built to process large-scale airflow using only solar energy. The performances were systematically studied using experimental measurements and numerical models, with the focus of investigating whether this device can generate enough airflow under low solar intensities, and developing a fast-analytical mathematical model to effectively and efficiently find design rules for further application. The experimental results prove that the air … Show more
