| dc.description.abstract | A method for the analysis of the performance of standard industrial evaporative cooling tower drift
eliminators using numerical simulation methods is reported.
The simulation methods make use of the computer code SOLASUR as a subroutine of the computer code DRIFT to calculate the two dimensional laminar flow velocity field
and pressure loss in a drift eliminator geometry. This information is then used in the main program to obtain the eliminator collection efficiency by performing trajectory calculations for droplet's of a given size by a fourth' order Runge-Kutta numerical method. | en |
