Abstract

The new mathematical model of cooling tower performance is presented. It's combined the two boundary value problems (9 ODE) and the algorithm of self-consistent solution. The model collects the evaporative cooling of water films and droplets in the sprinkler zone. For weak ground wind, there is a good agreement between experimental and reckoning results. Relative role of evaporative cooling of water films is discussed.
