Analysis of overall SC power plant efficiency

Working potential of heated air is directly related to buoyancy force in the atmosphere. One part of the entire working potential is concentrated at the ground level by the high chimney. In that way, produced working potential is used in turbines at ground level. The influence of different air state changes in the collector is analyzed in this paper with an emphasis on overall SC plant efficiency. Analysis is performed for conventional solar chimney (SC) power plant for different air temperature increase. Influence of water adding into collector is also analyzed. It is pointed out that chimney efficiency in the SC plant can be derived as special case of the more general theory.
