Inhaltsangabe

In this research the cooling tower performance has been analyzed by varying air inlet parameters with different air inlet angles and by attaching a nozzle in air inlet. The cooling tower analyzed here is used specifically for small scale industries, which is forced draft counter-flow cooling tower with single module capacities from 10 to 100 cooling tons. In this research 50 tons cooling capacity model has been taken as reference model. The analysis has been done using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) FLUENT software. The cooling tower models have been modeled using SOLIDWORKS software and they have been meshed using ICEM CFD software. The meshed models have been analyzed using FLUENT software. The air inlet angles varied in horizontal direction, vertical direction and by combining both horizontal and vertical inclination. A convergent nozzle has been modeled and assembled to the inlet pipe. The temperature contours of the cooling tower models have been taken from the analysis. Based on the outlet cold water temperature, the improved effectiveness of the cooling tower model has been obtained.
