Evaluation And Improvement Of The Wu-Koh Model For The Prediction Of Multiple-Cell Cooling Tower Plumes, Michael Joseph Wastag
Evaluation And Improvement Of The Wu-Koh Model For The Prediction Of Multiple-Cell Cooling Tower Plumes, Michael Joseph Wastag
Masters Theses
This paper evaluates and improves the performance of the Wu-Koh mathematical model for the prediction of plume dispersion from multiple natural-draft (NDCT) and mechanical-draft (MDCT) cooling towers. The Wu-Koh multiple-tower model was chosen for study due to its advanced treatment of plume merging.
Our evaluation of the Wu-Koh model was carried out by comparing model predictions of field and laboratory data. Comparisons of model predictions of visible plume outlines were made to single- and multiple-tower visible plume data. The sites of the single-tower data were Lunen (300 MWe), Chalk Point (630 MWe) and Paradise (1100 MW …
