FEASIBILITY STUDY OF ENERGY TOWERS VIA CFD ANALYSIS
要約
The Energy Tower is a concept of an electric power generating device which will utilize solar energy in regions of dry and hot air. The technique is based on spraying droplets at the top of a very high structure located in an arid zone. Because of the droplets evaporation, the air inside the tower is cooled, its density increases and a downward flow follows. This flow drives turbines located at the tower base, producing electricity.
