The concept of a solar chimney coupled with a wind tower to induce nat
ural ventilation has been studied analytically in this paper. lt is es
timated that the effect of a solar chimney is relatively much higher f
or lower wind speeds. For ambient wind speed of 1.0 m/s, for example,
the wind tower alone creates a mass flow rate of 0.75 kg/s only, while
the solar chimney assisted system is able to create an air flow up to
1.4 kg/s at 700 W/m2 incident solar radiation.
