A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Engineering,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in
fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy.
Johannesburg, 1990 / This work was carried out in response to the need for a
simple engineering method for the thermal analysis of
direct-contact air-water heat exchangers. A simple
method of performance analysis is developed which is
directly analogous and consistent with the fundamental
approach used in conventional heat exchanger analysis
and one in which the algebraic form of the overall
equation and the grouping of each of the parameters are
apparent.
The range of conditions considered are air and water
temperatures of between 0 and 50 DC and barometric
pressures ranging from 80 to 120 kPa. The air conditions
considered range from completely dry to completely
satucated with water vapour. Both air cooling
and water cooling processes are considered. [Abbreviated abstract. Open document to view full version]
