This study presents a computational investigation into the aerodynamic and thermal performance enhancement of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP) through the integration of wavy geometries along the ...

Built as part of the sustainable features of a new Australian building, the specially-designed solar chimney radically boosts safe evacuation time in a fire - from 2 minutes to over 14 minutes. A must ...

Researchers from the department of mechanical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology-Banaras Hindu University (IIT-BHU) have developed an advanced technology for solar energy production.

The air pollution and the limited sources of fossil fuels are the major problems that humans have faced in recent decades. Many solutions have been proposed by researchers to reduce the concentration ...

A must-have in green building design, solar chimneys can slash energy costs up to 50%. Now research reveals they could also help save lives in a building fire. In a world-first, researchers designed a ...
