Abstract:Natural draft dry cooling towers (NDDCTs) serve a fundamental role in the deployment of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. In a multi-tower cooling system, there is a need to be able to position them correctly so that their performance as a group is maximised. To do this, an understanding of the effect they have on one another is needed. Hence, this work investigated the effect of tower spacing on the performance of multiple cooling towers under calm conditions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) sim… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
