Hi guys,
I have question regarding cooling towers. I have been asked to check if cooling towers would be efficient and economical to cooling system for a power plant to be installed in Weymouth, England.
As per my calculations, heat to be rejected (in the condenser) from the system is 20 MW.
I'm not familiar with cooling towers and I need help calculating (very roughly) the size of the tower required, parasitic loads, mass flow rate of water and air and quantity of make-up water?
Heat energy to be rejected= 20 MW
Temp of working fluid in the condenser has to be dropped from 30 deg C to 19 deg C
Wet bulb temperature of the area is 9 deg C
Avg temperature of area 14 - 16 deg C
Relative humidity is 85 - 90 %
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
