Flue gas channels have been utilized to exchange heat with the air inside the collector of the solar chimney. The hybrid solar chimney has been investigated numerically by ANSYS-Fluent software, using discrete ordinates radiation model. The hybrid system was simulated in 3D, steady-state by solving Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The numerical results have been validated using experimental measurements of a conventional solar chimney. The influence of flue channels on the system performance was predicted and analyzed in hybrid mode. With 0.002 kg/s of flue gas at 100°C injected in flue channels during the daytime; hybrid mode results demonstrated enhancement of 24 and 9 for velocity and temperature, respectively. The power generation was enhanced by 56. It has been proved that the proposed technique is able to resolve the set back of night operation problem of the solar chimney plants. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences. date: 2018 publisher: EDP Sciences official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85056782318&doi=10.1051%2fmatecconf%2f201822504011&partnerID=40&md5=474b5cc58e602acbfe299c4f4bde3a1d id_number: 10.1051/matecconf/201822504011 full_text_status: none publication: MATEC Web of Conferences volume: 225 refereed: TRUE issn: 2261236X citation: Aurybi, M.A. and Al-Kayiem, H.H. and Gilani, S.I.U. and Ismaeel, A.A.
