A novel method for improving the cooling performance of natural draft wet cooling towers
(NDWCTs) by installing air ducts in the rain zone was proposed for the first time. To study the …

As the core component of cooling towers, packing directly affect the operation efficiency of
cooling tower, so it is of great significance to optimize the structure of packing. In this paper …

In Brescia, Italy, heat is delivered to 70% of 200.000 city inhabitants by means of a district
heating system, mainly supplied by a waste to energy plant, utilizing the non recyclable …

Abstract The micro Humid Air Turbine (mHAT) has proven to have the highest potential of all
mixed air/water micro Gas Turbines (mGTs). Turning a mGT into a mHAT however requires …

The chip mufflers are widely installed around the natural draft wet cooling towers (NDWCTs)
to lessen the noise, which significantly influence the tower inflow air field. To study the …

A field test study was conducted on a natural draft wet cooling tower to quantitatively
investigate the water droplet diameter distribution in the rain zone for the first time. A test rig …

The study of cooling towers in realistic atmospheric conditions is important to assess their
performance and plume dispersal as a function of wind speed and hygrometric conditions …

Cooling towers are heat exchangers that reduce the hot water temperature produced by
process equipment through heat and mass transfer between water and air stream. This …

A comprehensive survey of the literature in the area of numerical heat transfer (NHT)
published between 2000 and 2009 has been conducted. Due to the immenseness of the …

The objective of this paper is to report the experimental performance of a novel water
recovering system applied to a crossflow cooling tower. For that, a lab-scale experimental …
