As we are seen from the above literature review some researcher have been try to study on effect of solar radiation
and geometry on the power output of Solar chimney power plant. The main objectives of this thesis is to study the
chimney shape, chimney height, collector diameter, effect of solar radiation and collector diameter on the power
output of SCPP using ANSYS software.
A little effort have been carried out toward the study of the effects of the geometry and solar radiation on the power
output of SCPP. The main objectives of the present work is to study the effect of solar radiation, chimney height,
collector diameter and chimney shape (top convergence) on the power output of SCPP using ANSYS Fluent
software.
