Wind affects adversely the cooling tower thermal performance. A field investigation was carried out to study the thermal performance of Heller cooling towers under wind conditions, involving measurement of wind velocity and its direction around the cooling tower, and obtaining water flow rates and temperatures at the cooling tower inlet and outlet. Results show that air suction at the tower top...

In a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. This is achieved in a cooling tower. The Heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout Iran. Wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. Previous studi...

this article is a comparative evaluation of airflow in two kinds of yazdi and kermani wind-towers. in the late decades of twenty century regarding to high population growth rate and energy crisis, vernacular architecture and its passive methods for gaining thermal comfort, has been strongly focused. moreover, a huge scientific movement setup for researches deep in exploring passive cooling and ...

The Dynamics characteristic of Tower Crane is complicated under the wind excitation which complicates the wind-induced vibration response analysis. The random wind-induced response analysis of tower crane is presented based on finite element method and Virtual Excitation Method. The pulsating wind loads are changed into multiple-point correlation stationary excitation. This papers uses Davenpor...

In order to locate a 150m wind monitoring tower to measure the wind characteristics, we investigated the site near Paradip, Odisha (India) to locate wind tower and collected some wind data to incorporate into the design of tubular steel tower. This paper seeks to understand the design of tubular steel tower and its performance parameter up to 150m height, also it provides the stability analysis...

The dynamic stability of a coupled tower-blade wind turbine system is investigated analytically and experimentally. Coupled equations of motion and associated boundary conditions for the wind tower and a rotating blade are derived by considering the lateral acceleration of the nacelle at the tip of the tower, which is the base of the flexible blade. The coupled eigenvalues are computed for vari...
