Summary

A LINEAR APPROXIMATE MODEL OF WET SURFACE HEAT EXCHANGERS IS PROPOSED. THE EQUATIONS OF THE MODEL ARE REARRANGED, ENABLING SOLUTIONS FOR WET BULB DEPRESSION AND WET BULB TEMPERATURE TO BE OBTAINED INDEPENDENTLY, BY ANALOGY FROM PUBLISHED SOLUTIONS FOR DRY BULB TEMPERATURE IN DRY SURFACE HEAT EXCHANGERS. PERFORMANCE PREDICTIONS BY THIS METHOD FOR A CROSSFLOW COOLING TOWER ARE FOUND TO AGREE WITH THOSE FROM A PREVIOUS FINITE DIFFERENCE SOLUTION.
