Abstract:

Abstract:Using the computational fluid dynamics software Fluent, the numerical simulation of Spain solar chimney power generation system Manzanares was accomplished. The distribution of the temperature field, the pressure field and the velocity field inside the solar chimney power generation system were obtained, and the available generation power was calculated. Using the orthogonal experiment, combining with the result of numerical simulation, the influence of different factors in the solar chimney power generation system on the system performance was analyzed, and the optimum combination of structural parameters of the system were obtained.
