Second-law-based performance evaluation of cooling towers and evaporative heat exchangers by QURESHI, BILAL AHMED

“…Abstract In this paper, we present thermodynamic analysis of counter flow wet cooling towers and evaporative heat exchangers using both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. A parametric study is carried out to determine the variation of second-law efficiency as well as exergy destruction as a function of various input parameters such as inlet wet bulb temperature. …”
