Energy Conversion Efficiency of Solar Chimney Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Max Efficiency of a Solar Chimney = 9.81*Height of Chimney/(1005*Ambient Air Temperature)
η_max = 9.81*H/(1005*T_a)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Max Efficiency of a Solar Chimney - Max Efficiency of a Solar Chimney is the highest performance level of a solar chimney in converting sunlight into thermal energy.
Height of Chimney - (Measured in Meter) - The Height of Chimney is defined as the height of the chimney tower form the metal frame above the ground.
Ambient Air Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Ambient Air Temperature is the temperature of the air surrounding the Earth, measured at a certain height above the ground level.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of Chimney: 15367 Meter --> 15367 Meter No Conversion Required
Ambient Air Temperature: 300 Kelvin --> 300 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_max = 9.81*H/(1005*T_a) --> 9.81*15367/(1005*300)

Evaluating ... ...

η_max = 0.500000895522388

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.500000895522388 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.500000895522388 ≈ 0.500001 <-- Max Efficiency of a Solar Chimney

What is a Solar Chimney?

A solar chimney is a passive solar heating and ventilation system that uses the natural rise of warm air to improve airflow in a building. It consists of a tall, vertical structure that absorbs solar energy, heating the air inside and creating an upward draft. As the warm air rises, cooler air is drawn in from lower levels, promoting natural ventilation. Solar chimneys are used to reduce energy consumption for cooling and improve indoor air quality in sustainable building designs.
