Abstract

The solar chimney is a natural ventilation technique that has the potential to save energy use in buildings as well as maintain comfortable indoor quality. This research aims to study inclined solar chimney with geothermal mechanism using CFD technique. A two-dimensional symmetric model using the RNG (Re-Normalization Group) k−ε turbulence closure is simulated. The discrete ordinates non-gray radiation model is used to implement the radiative-transfer equation. To simulate solar irradiation, the solar ray-tracing algorithm is employed. The software used for modeling is Creo 2.0 and for analysis ANSYS CFX is used.
