Greetings. I'm doing a thesis on modeling a natural draft cooling tower on ANSYS , And i'm looking for typical dimensions for natural draft cooling towers, things like the height, diameter at the top, diameter at the bottom, thickness of the shell , and also a dimension called diameter of the throat. Since natural draft cooling towers are usually of hyperbolic shape, they have the biggest diameter (Bottom) the throat diameter (Middle) and probably (I don't know yet ) smallest diameter (Top).
I uploaded an extract from a structural engineer handbook , where you can see what the cooling tower terminology i'm talking about. Using some equations there i've been figuring that i don't need all the dimensions, but probably either with only the heights or diameters i can calculate the rest...

This is my first post at this forum. Thanks in advance for helping or bothering to read.

I'm not really sure what your question is?

Obvious question: Have you done any searches (Goggle or even this site) for cooling towers?

Marley is the grandfather of Cooling Tower design firms. You might try their website as well.
