Impact of Relative Humidity on Cooling Tower Plume Dispersion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The SACTI model (Seasonal Annual Cooling Tower Impact) as the environmental impact assessment of cooling tower was applied in this paper, which was used to simulate the plume characters under different kinds of relative humidity. The three kinds of relative humidity were 70%, 80% and 90% and it was analyzed that the plume character under these three kinds of relative humidity. Results showed that the plume length, plume height and plume radius will present different change trend when relative humidity changed. Additionally, the plume dispersion character in different seasons presented obviously variations and the different wind direction also play important role in prediction of cooling tower plume dispersion.
