Evaluation of models for predicting evaporative water loss in cooling impoundments

Cooling impoundments can offer a number of advantages over cooling towers for condenser water cooling at steam electric power plants. However, a major disadvantage of cooling ponds is a lack of confidence in the ability to predict various aspects of their hydrothermal performance and consumptive wat...
