MINLP Optimization of Cooling Towers
This paper presents a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for the optimal design of mechanical counter-flow cooling towers, subjected to standard design constraints. The objective function consists of the minimization of the total annual cost, which includes the capital cost of the cooling tower (that depends on the filling material and the air flowrate) and the operating cost (th...
متن کاملFeasibility Study of the Thermal Performance Improvement of Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers Due to Flue Gas Injection
In steam power plants, any improvement in the cooling towers thermal performance will cause the condenser's temperature to decrease; which in turn enhances the power plant's efficiency. Due to water shortage, many power plants all around the world rely on natural draft dry cooling towers (Heller type). In these cooling towers, condenser's exit hot water is pumped to vertical or horizontal finne...
متن کاملCooling Water System Modelling for Control and Energy Optimisation Purposes
Utilities account for a significant portion of the fixed cost associated with running a petrochemical plant, however, utility optimisation has not received much focus until recently. This change was driven by rising energy prices, stricter environmental policies, and the threat of climate change. Several utilities are used including steam, compressed air, nitrogen, cooling water, refrigeration ...
متن کاملReuse of Refinery Treated Wastewater in Cooling Towers
In this report, experimental investigation of waste water treatment by reverse osmosis to enable its reuse in cooling tower is presented. A polyamide spiral wound RO membrane followed by three filters as RO pretreatment (two activated carbon and one cartridge filter) and samples of Tehran refinery treated waste water have been used. The effect of operating conditions such as pressure differ...
متن کاملOptimum Shape and Design of Cooling Towers
The aim of the current study is to develop a numerical tool that is capable of achieving an optimum shape and design of hyperbolic cooling towers based on coupling a non-linear finite element model developed in-house and a genetic algorithm optimization technique. The objective function is set to be the minimum weight of the tower. The geometric modeling of the tower is represented by means of ...
