Request a sales quoteDesign Aspects Cooling Towers: Principles, Technologies and Applications is a guide to the design and assessment of cooling towers which addresses the calculations of flow patterns, heat transfer and pollution under various design and operating conditions to optimize performance. After a brief summary of basic thermodynamic and heat transfer principles, the book provides suggestions for the optimal design and height of cooling towers, considering their location and placement, wind speed and direction. Professor Khalil of Cairo University includes mathematical modelling techniques and calculations of flow patterns, heat transfer and pollution around the cooling towers under various design and operating conditions to demonstrate the impact that different design decisions have on performance.
This highly visual book will guide students, professionals and engineers in the power industry to make suitable arrangements for better thermodynamic performance of cooling towers which will have the least impact on the environment. Readers will gather an understanding of how the design of cooling towers is impacted by various factors and gain a deeper knowledge of thermodynamics and heat transfer.
- Provides readers with a guide to various cooling tower designs, considering Cooling tower effluent passage and dispersion, water retention and relative humidity
- Suggests the best options for cooling tower height, wind speed and direction effect to improve performance
- Yields a parametric investigation of cooling tower arrangements for better thermodynamic performance and the least impact on the environment
