Abstract:The simplicity of solar chimney power plant (SCPP) makes it very attractive for power generation. This paper investigates the technical feasibility of using a locally-produced plastic film (Low-Density Poly-Ethylene “LDPE”) as a solar chimney power plant collector cover. The idea is to combine a very low-cost material with a simple technical solution. As LDPE is subject to deterioration, the effect of aging on the initial properties of the used material is analyzed. Natural aging was privileged over the accele… Show more
