Optimal design of a dry-type natural-draft cooling tower by geometric programming

In this paper, the optimal design of dry-type natural-draft cooling towers is investigated. Using physical laws and engineering design relations that govern the system, a rather detailed optimization model is developed. This model is then reformulated as a geometric programming problem. A primary consideration in this reformulation is how certain polynomial equations may be effectively replaced by inequalities. A numerical example follows.
