This paper presents an innovative correlation associating the effectiveness (ε) of the cooling tower with its number of transfer unit (NTU) and vice versa. The new correlations can be used simply to predict the performance of wet counterflow cooling tower. Those correlations are based on...

In the present work, a waste heat power generation system is analyzed based on the criteria with and without considering the heat/exergy loss to the environment. For the criteria without considering the heat/exergy loss to the environment, the first- and second-law efficiencies display different...
