MODELING OF COOLING TOWER OPERATION WITH CONSIDERATION FOR THE CHEMICAL WORK IN THE STEAM–AIR MIXTURE
A model of motion of a two-phase continuous medium in a cooling tower is presented. The medium consists of water particles and a steam/air mixture. The composition of the mixture changes, as a result of which chemical work is performed, which was not taken into account in early models. Comparison with earlier results reveals a strong infl uence of the chemical work on the results of modeling, with the general mathematical structure of the model remaining unchanged — in the case of free convection, it is necessary to solve an eigenvalue boundary-value problem with a continuous spectrum, where the eigenvalue is the air fl ow at the cooling tower inlet, and the minimum fl ow value corresponds to free convection
