CALCULATIONS ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF MECHANICAL DRAFT COOLING TOWERS.

Author(s) : FUJITA T., TEZUKA S.

Summary

WITH REFERENCE TO THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF MECHANICAL DRAFT COUNTERFLOW AND CROSSFLOW COOLING TOWERS, COMPUTER CALCULATIONS ARE MADE ON THE BASIS OF THE ENTHALPY POTENTIAL THEORY. SOME SIMPLIFIED METHODS OF CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER UNITS ARE EXAMINED AND A NEW CORRECTION FACTOR FOR CROSSFLOW TOWERS IS OBTAINED. UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE CURVES ARE OBTAINED IN DUE CONSIDERATION OF THE AVAILABLE DATA ON THE TOWER CHARACTERISTICS.
