Abstract The current study focuses on spray cooling applied to the heat exchange components of a cooling tower. An optimization of such processes is attempted by assessing different spray flow rates and droplet sizes. For simplicity, the heat exchanger of the cooling tower is modeled as a horizontal round tube and a cooling tower spray cooling model is developed accordingly using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The study examines the influence of varying spray flow rates and droplet sizes on the heat flow intensity between the liquid layer on the surface of the cylindrical tube… More >
