Abstract

A mathematic model for packed air-cooling tower thermodynamic calculation is set up in this paper on the basis of fundamental heat and mass transfer equations. Based on the Double Film theory, direct equation-solving method is used to simulate air-cooling tower, and variation of parameters is taken to analyze the data and results of the program.
