Large volumes of freshwater are used globally for cooling towers. The reuse of discharged
cooling tower water in cooling towers itself could mitigate freshwater scarcity problems. Prior …

A one-dimensional model of a hybrid cooling tower and its atmospheric plume is presented
with the aim of studying plume abatement, water consumption and cooling performance. To …

A one-dimensional model to study the heat and mass transfer inside and immediately above
a wet counter-flow cooling tower is described. The wet cooling tower thermodynamic model …

In this study, single-objective (SOP) and multi-objective (MOP) design optimization problems
have been solved for mechanical forced-draft counter-flow wet-cooling towers using an …

Cooling towers are widely used in chemical industries to cool water with ambient air that is
susceptible to weather changes not only during the day, but also during the year, resulting in …

This article presents a three-dimensional CFD model to describe the counter-current air-
water flow across the staggered tube bundles in a bench-scale closed wet cooling tower by …

Energy service companies (ESCOs) in China have been adopting various energy
conservation measures, thus playing a significant role in mitigating carbon dioxide …

This study explores the use of artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for design optimization of
mechanical draft counter flow wet-cooling tower. Minimizing the total annual cost for specific …

The potential for greater energy efficiency gave rise to the popularity of implementing district
cooling systems. In newer districts, however, the discrepancy between the designed …

This paper presents a procedure for simultaneously handling the problem of optimal
integration of regenerative organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) with overall processes. ORCs …
