A Review Paper on Performance Evaluation and Enhancement of Cooling Tower
Abstract: Abstract Cooling towers are commonly used to reject heat from condenser water, heat exchanger, and other processing equipment. A cooling tower cools the hot water by a combination of heat and mass transfer. Energy and mass transfer through cooling tower play significant roles in cooling water temperature. Specifically, the work aims to conduct a detailed analysis of the heat and mass transfer processes in a natural draft wet cooling tower, …
