The purpose of this study was to investigate numerically the effect of moist air on the performance of a vertical solar chimney. Numerical models were constructed to simulate the heat transfer and fluid flow of dry air and moist air with a relative humidity of 30–80% in a solar chimney. Computational results of air velocity and temperature distribution in the solar chimney with dry air were compared...
