When a power plant is built in an area where water resources are not abundant, a cooling tower is usually used as a cooling means. In order to obtain a steady stream of electrical energy, the working fluid (usually water) needs to be recycled between the...
Most of the effluent from the steam turbine generator set of a thermal power plant is cooled by a hyperbolic natural ventilation cooling tower. Natural draft cooling tower noise generated during normal operation includes water spray noise, pump noise,...
Through the calculation of the mathematical model of the cooling tower thermal force, the design calculation parameters of the mechanical ventilation cooling tower and the natural ventilation cooling tower of the 2×460MW gas-fired combined steam cycle unit...
Structural analysis of large cooling towers is mostly based on the theory of no-moment of rotating shells. This theory ignores the effects of bending moments and transverse shear forces in the shell equilibrium equation, and most of them use hand...
