Design and Analysis of Cooling Tower
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Cooling Tower Is A Heat And Mass Transfer Device Commonly Used To Dissipate Heat From Devices Like Condensers In Power Plants, Compressors, Pumps In Industries. Cooling Tower Works On The Principle Of Evaporative Cooling In Which Water Is Cooled Down By The Impact Of High Velocity Flowing Air. It Offers An Effective Alternative At Locations Where There Is Cooling Water Scarcity And Where Hot Water Discharge Causes An Environmental Concern. The Effective Cooling Of Water Depends On Various Process Parameters Like Dry Bulb And Wet Bulb Temperature Of Air, Fill Material And Its Size, Inlet Air Flow Rate, Air Inlet Angles, Water Flow Rate And Temperature Etc. The Present Paper Is The Detailed Methodology Of Design Of Counter Flow Cooling Tower Based On The Input Process Parameters By Considering Different Types Of Possible Losses. The Designed Cooling Tower Is Then Modelled In Solidworks 2012 And Checked For Its Performance Through CFD Software. The Model Has Been Meshed And Analyzed In ANSYS 16.1 Software. The Air Inlet Angles Have Been Varied Along Horizontal And Vertical Direction And Temperature Contours Have Been Obtained. Based On Outlet Cold Water Temperature For Different Air Inlet Angles, The Effectiveness Of Cooling Tower Has Been Estimated And Compared.
