Wind affects adversely the cooling tower thermal performance. A field investigation was carried out to study the thermal performance of Heller cooling towers under wind conditions, involving measurement of wind velocity and its direction around the cooling tower, and obtaining water flow rates and temperatures at the cooling tower inlet and outlet. Results show that air suction at the tower top...

sand and dust storms are natural events that occur widely around the world, mostly in dry and bare lands. over thepast decade a large part of iran has been affected by this phenomenon, and tehran has not been excluded from thisevent. therefore, having knowledge of spatiotemporal frequency variations can aid us in future management andstorm trajectory assessment. in this study the synoptic anemo...

in this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. we study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. we find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. we show that the global structure of an advec...

sand dunes mobility is one of the serious problems in arid regions. since wind regime is one of the important factors in sand dunes formation, its frequency, direction and magnitude can be effective. amount of wind energy and its directional variability (wind regime) have significant control on the morphology and maintenance of aeolian landforms. by recognizing of morphometric and morphodynamic...

erosion by wind is one of the most important factors in desert environment. prevailing winds can shift sand dunes and affect their accumulation. also, wind regime determines the direction of sand dune mobility. the aim of this research was to investigate sand drift potential using sand movement models. for this research, wind data between 1986 and 2005 from the meteorological station of yazd we...

the majority of iran’s area is covered by arid and semiarid climates. in these areas, wind causes more erosion compared to water. therefore, determination of wind characteristics especially its velocity is very important. one of the simplest methods that can supply researchers with the origin of wind erosion in the shortest time is synthesizing sand rose model and interpretation of aerial photo...
