Basement Kind Effects on Air Temperature of a Solar Chimney in Baghdad - Iraq Weather

A solar updraft tower power plant (solar tower) is a solar thermal power plant that utilizes a combination of solar air collector and central updraft tube to generate an induced convective flow which drives pressure staged turbines to generate electricity.    This paper presents practical...
