Popis: Solar chimney power plants are passive thermal systems that use the greenhouse effect to produce electricity from solar radiation (SR). The performance of these devices varies from one climate to another. Indeed, the building site of the SCPP is a particular parameter for its total effectiveness. The aim of this work was to present an experimental investigation of a solar chimney prototype under the climatic conditions of Sfax, Tunisia. In fact, Sfax is characterized by its arid and sunny climate. The impact of the climatic conditions of Sfax city on the aero-thermal characteristics of the considered prototype is carried out. Particularly, the variations of the fluid temperature and velocity are carried out under different times. The present outcomes show that the solar chimney power plant is an applicable device in the Tunisian region of Sfax.
