Résumé
This work focuses on the study of the flow of air in natural convection in a solar tower of small size.The behavior of air in the tower, considered as a solar dryer, provides information on the amount of heat absorbed by the air upon entry into the collector.A theoretical approach allows us to theoretically simulate the flow by using a mathematical model characterizing the physical parameters of the system during a daily sunshine.An analysis of this phenomenon is made and results are obtained.
