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 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 …

The paper presents a study on numerical modeling of a natural draft wet-cooling tower with
flue gas injection. A previously developed 3D CFD model of a natural draft wet-cooling tower …

Numerical modelling of natural draft wet-cooling towers is considered in this paper.
Development of a complete CFD model capable of predicting cooling tower performance …

An inverse approach is formulated using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) integrated
with a trained radial basis function (RBF) network to estimate various physical parameters of …

In cooling towers packed with trickle or splash fills, which have almost isotropic or
anisotropic flow resistance, the air flow through the fill is oblique or in cross-counterflow to …

The withdrawal and consumption of water at thermoelectric power plants affects regional
ecology and supply security of both water and electricity. The existing field data on US …

This study is aimed to utilize the operation data to build a physical-meaningful and precise-
enough model to assist the operation of a cooling tower. To do so, this work introduces a …

Splash fills are preferred in mechanical draft wet cooling towers commonly used in power
plants, as these are much less susceptible to clogging and fouling due to debris, algae, and …

This paper presents a numerical reduced order model framework to simulate the physics of
the thermomechanical processes that occur during c-Si photovoltaic (PV) cell fabrication. A …
