Abstract

As height of the chimney is directly influencing the efficiency of the overall SCPP, this thesis is focusing on the use of heat injectors to enhance the efficiency. The injectors is connected in the middle of the bottom chimney and at an angle to add vortex in the system. The overall outcome of the experiment was successful as it answers a lot of question that was asked. It allows to clear stacking at the top chimney, it increases buoyancy and velocity and lasty it minimizes the systems dependency on the solar system.
