CFD Prediction of Forced Draft Counter-Flow Cooling Tower Performance

Numerical and experimental studies were conducted for open type forced draft water cooling tower. The numerical part includes a three dimensional computational solution of air and water simultaneous equations which represents the fluid flow, heat transfer and mass transfer. Finite volume method with staggered grid and k- e turbulent model was used. Experimentally, mechanical forced draft counter-flow cooling tower was used to validate the numerical results. The agreement seems acceptable between the numerical and experimental results.
