Description
Summary:Experimental and numerical analysis has been carried out using the solar chimney to improve the natural room ventilation and thermal performance. MATLAB programming has been used to simulate the natural phenomenon. The climatic conditions of the city of Kirkuk-Iraq has been considered for this study. The thermal efficiency of the solar chimney has been studied at various inclination angles such as 30°, 45°, and 60° with the solar chimney facing south. The solar chimney at a 60° angle, according to the data, yields the better thermal performance and ventilation rate. In this study, it was discovered that wind speed and solar intensity have a greater impact on ACH. Finally, the error percentage among the numerical prediction and the experimental calculation has not exceeded 5%
