CFD Analysis of Room Air Ventilation through Solar Chimney

Sushil Kumar ^[14] | Dr. V. N. Bartaria ^[2]

Abstract: Energy has very important role in the livelihood of human being. It is the prime agent in the social and economic development. Energy resources may be classified in two ways primary energy resources or conventional resources and Renewable sources of energy. For the healthy and comfortable conditions it is required to keep the clean and comfortable environment in the living and working places. A room to be ventilated to exchange the room air with the fresh outside air is required conventional source of energy as electricity or by mechanical means. The passive design of building approach provides us the better option in which renewable energy source of energy may be used such as the use of solar energy. This paper presents the CFD study of flow and temperature features in a typical room having solar chimney. The results in the form of contours and plots are obtained to show the temperature and velocity variations. The paper presents the CFD approach for the solution of solar air ventilation using solar chimney.
