Knowledge base for the systematic design of wet cooling towers. Part I: Selection and tower characteristics

This paper describes part of the detailed methodology for the thermal design of wet, counterflow and crossflow types of mechanical and natural draught cooling towers. Starting with a brief introduction, an attempt is made here to present different steps of cooling tower design. The steps include: se...
