1- The Faculty of Energy Engineering in Aswan will develop the solar chimney, with its minuscule proportions, as a source of fresh and sustainable energy.
2. Using the flow controller that will be created by the German party, setting up a theoretical thermodynamic air model for the chimney and turbine.
3- The Energy Engineering Faculty in Aswan will conduct a feasibility assessment on the fundamentals of this clean energy technology.
4-The German side will implement the structural design of the chimney and solar collector.
5-In addition, this initiative will open up opportunities for collaboration between academic laboratories run by the government and industry researchers, as well as for those who are interested in engineering design.
