Visible plumes above wet cooling towers are of great concern due to the associated
aesthetic and environmental impacts. The parallel path wet/dry cooling tower is one of the …

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 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 …

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 …

Evaporative towers are the most widely used systems for cooling water in industrial
processes. These systems, however, are characterized by high energy and water …

To explore the operation mechanism of the hybrid mechanical draft wet cooling tower
(hybrid MCT), a 3D model of the hybrid MCT is established. The plume, water saving, and …

For the super large-scale natural draft wet cooling towers (S-NDWCTs), the higher rain zone
produces water drop** potential energy which can be used to drive an axial fan …

Cooling towers are devices that are commonly used to dissipate the heat produced in power
generation units, central air conditioners and industrial processes. The fill is an important …

As an advanced envelope, the double skin façade (DSF) is popular due to its distinguished
aesthetic and thermal performance. However, the temperatures of the air cavity and shading …

An active pipe-embedded building envelope, which is a kind of external wall with cooling
pipes embedded, has been developed recently to reduce heat transfer through building …
