Stress and Stability Analysis of a Cooling Tower by ANSYS

Abstract:

In this paper the stress and stability of the domestic highest natural draft cooling tower under wind load, weight and temperature load are simulated by ANSYS. The wind load is proved to be the key load that must be considered in the stage of the design of a cooling tower. The maximum internal force is compressive stress and appears at the bottom, and the maximum buckling appears at the throat of the tower. The simulation result can be used to check the cooling tower during the design phase to avoid the accident.
