Heat and mass transfer in natural draft cooling towers

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Cooling towers (CTs) are important units in the vast majority of power plants. They have been intensively investigated for the last 70 years. The abundance of works makes difficult to “see” the total area of investigations of CTs and to find the most urgent and important results. This article contains a compact overview of contemporary publications (for the last 11 years) in the area of heat and mass transfer in CTs, especially in natural draft wet cooling towers (NDWCT), and of related phenomena. Attention is specially paid to modern numerical computational investigations.
