Model-Based Evaluation of Air-Side Fouling in Closed-Circuit Cooling Towers
Energies, 2021 Fouling is a permanent problem in process technology and is estimated to cost 0.25% of the gross national product. Evaporative cooling systems are especially susceptible to air-side fouling: as they work with untreated outside air, they are exposed to ...

Thermal analysis of a commercial plate fin heat exchanger with non-uniform inlet flow conditions [PDF]
, 2016 In studies using computational fluid dynamics software, very often a uniform air stream is applied as inlet boundary condition of a heat exchanger. In actual applications, however, the inlet flow conditions are not uniform.
