In this study, a simulation for two story building associated with a vertical solar chimney was made by using ANSYS 2022/R1. The study conducted under the climatic conditions of Al-kut city/ Iraq on 5/8/2016. The study involved a comparison between the ventilation performance of SC before and after adding Energy Storage. Al-dura, RT-42, and block-shaped paraffin wax were the three types of PCM that were studied in order to find the optimum ES. The numerical results showed that the best Paraffin wax was Al-dura depending on the average Air Change per Hour (ACH), average indoor temperature, and the ventilation period after sunset. Comparing with the 1st model (without ES), After adding Al-dura wax, the ACH increased by 18.3 % and 9.95 % for 1st and 2nd floor, respectively. whereas, the indoor temperature was reduced by 1.17 k and 0.68 k on the 1st and 2nd floor, respectively. As for the ventilation period, it was lasted for 5 h after sunset.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
