Experimental investigation on the performance of solar chimney for reduction of vehicle cabin soak temperature

Vehicle cabin soak temperature is dire and in some cases is a life-threatening for any living organism trapped inside it. Also, it dictates the thermal comfort level upon entry, air conditioning (AC) load, and fuel consumption. This study is the first attempts to experimentally evaluate the impact o...
