TY - JOUR TT - INVESTIGATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ATMOSPHERIC COOLING TOWER USING FRESH AND SALTED WATER AU - Haddad, A. PY - 2011 DA - June JF - International Journal of Electronics Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering JO - IJEMME PB - İstanbul Aydın Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-0604 SP - 11 EP - 17 VL - 1 IS - 1 KW - Cooling KW - Tower KW - Reynolds KW - Water KW - Atmospheric N2 - Cooling towers are extensively used to evacuate large quantities of heat at modest temperatures through a change of phase of the flowing cooling fluid. Based on this classical principle, the present study investigates the influence of salty water on the heat exchange produced. For that purpose, experiments are carried out using fresh and salty water. Furthermore, a comparison with the results produced through an approach involving the solution of energy equation involving the flow of air on an evaporating film of fluid. The detailed results show a preponderance of fresh water over the salty UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/ijemme/issue//275784 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/256982 ER -
