TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional numerical approach incorporating the radiation, solar load, and turbine models was proposed to investigate the effects of solar radiation, turbine pressure drop, and ambient temperature on system performance in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study was carried out through 3D lattice Boltzmann method with respect to different pin-fin configurations, expanded graphite (EG) content, PCM melting temperature, and heat flux conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) is usually low which impedes the heat transfer efficiency in the LHTES system, adding high thermal conductivities nanoparticles or metal foams are the two common approaches to enhance the thermal performance of the PCMs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive theoretical model is proposed for the performance evaluation of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP), and has been verified by the experimental data of the Spanish prototype This model takes account of the effects of flow and heat losses, and the temperature lapse rates inside and outside the chimney

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D numerical approach that incorporates the radiation model, solar load model, and a real turbine was used to investigate the power-regulating strategy option for solar chimney turbines.
