rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. in order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...

Design of a natural dry cooling tower has been accomplished in two sections: the design of heat exchangers and the numerical solution of flow through the tower. Heat exchanger (Heller type) has been simulated thermodynamically and then coupled with a computer program, which calculated the turbulent natural convection flow through the tower. The computer program developed for this purpose can be...

The Cooling Tower Energy & Operating Cost Analysis Software is an in-house program developed by Tower Tech and is used to design and evaluate the performance and life-cycle costs associated with a cooling tower. This version can be used to estimate the cost to purchase and operate a Tower Tech cooling tower and a competitor’s tower. A number of assumptions about the details of the competitor’s ...

in a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. this is achieved in a cooling tower. the heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout iran. wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. previous studi...

We present a new explicit tower of function fields (Fn)n≥0 over the finite field with ` = q3 elements, where the limit of the ratios (number of rational places of Fn)/(genus of Fn) is bigger or equal to 2(q2 − 1)/(q + 2). This tower contains as a subtower the tower which was introduced by Bezerra– Garcia–Stichtenoth (see [3]), and in the particular case q = 2 it coincides with the tower of van ...

Beginning with a discussion of energy and exergy analysis definitions, the presented study provides a descriptive mathematical model for energy and exergy analysis for a co-current gas cooling tower. For this purpose using conservation laws of mass, energy and momentum, the variation of temperature and enthalpy of gas and liquid streams are predicted along the tower length and are used in order...

This article is the second in a two-paper series presenting results from wind tunnel and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of flow and dispersion in an idealized model urban neighborhood. Pollutant dispersion results are presented and discussed for a model neighborhood that was characterized by regular city blocks of three-story row houses with a single 12-story tower located at th...

This paper describes the validation of a Remote Tower Control workplace. The study shows how Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) observe traffic from a Tower Control Working Position at Airport Erfurt-Weimar (ERF) in comparison to a Remote Controller Working Position. The validation exercise targets low traffic density airports. Shadow-mode trials were used to cover perceptual, operational and...
