Hello,

i would like to ask does anyone can help me to calculate the quantity of water/air needed for cooling the condense from incineration plant! Namely, I am working on my master thesis and in the area where i proposed to be the location for building the plant there is not enough water for cooling. That's why i recommend hybrid cooling towers but unfortunately i don't know how to calculate the amount of water/air needed for cooling of the condense.

Thanks in advance for any help and assistance!

Hi ,
It's all about mass and energy balances ! For heat tranfer , let you try to find "Kern -Process Heat transfer"

I've attached documents which may help you to understand Cooling Tower.

Additional resource could be phone call to suppliers of this technology.

Hope this helps

What kind of "hybrid cooling" are you referring to? This term is normally used for air-cooled heat exchangers, in those instances when cooling is enhanced by spraying demineralized water across the cooling air path before fin-fan tubes are reached.

Please post a sketch of what are you proposing, and probably we will be able to provide some more help.
