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...

| Summary: | 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 water use. This report focuses on evaporation, which is related to both pond performance (temperatures) and consumptive water use. |
