Design Considerationsin Cross-Flow Air-Water Contactors

Design of Cross-Flow Cooling Towers and Ammonia Stripping Towers

“…0 Operating conditions are the same as given in Table V and the example problem. From the papers of Schechter and Kang (1959) and Vouyoucalos (1968), the temperature change of the liquid across the width of the tower is small in comparison to that across its height. This suggests seeking a solution of the form Ind.…”

“…To determine if a first approximation is sufficient for sizing a tower, Equation 35was checked against numerical solutions of Equations 10-14 by computer given in the literature (Schechter and Kang, 1959;Vouyoucalos, 1968). The results are given in Table III from which it can be concluded that higher order approximations are not necessary for design purposes.…”

“…Previous design procedures involve a numerical analysis using finite differences with a digital computer. Schechter and Kang (1959), extending the work of Zivi and Brand (1956), used this approach and presented sets of design curves for cooling towers. Unfortunately, it is difficult to use their results for design purposes Ind.…”

Thermal and fouling characteristics of cross-flow wet cooling towers under mixed weather conditions

“…Zivi and Brand [4] solved the differential equations numerically using a non-linear relationship between the water temperature and enthalpy of saturated air. Schechter and Kang [5] applied Zivi and Brand's method to more general operating conditions by representing an exponential function to express the equilibrium relation between the water temperature and enthalpy of saturated air at a limited range. Baker and Shryock [6] proposed an integral solution based on Merkel's theory.…”
