本文提出了一种分析冷却塔传热传质综合现象的简化方法。该模型的理论基础是默克尔理论，该理论假设塔是在湿工况下工作的经典换热器。该换热器的特点是整体传热系数UA。通过对进入塔的水和空气流量的函数进行实验分析，得出了UA的相关性。分析了压力损失，并尝试将其与UA系数联系起来。单元:干燥:研讨会论文，大西洋城，2002年

This paper presents a simplified method of analyzing the combined heat and mass transfer phenomena in a cooling tower.The theoretical basis of this model is Merkel's theory, which assumes the tower to be a classical heat exchanger working in the wet regime. This exchanger is characterized by the global heat transfer coefficient UA. A correlation of UA is generated from experimental analysis in function of water and air flow rates entering the tower. The pressure losses are analyzed, and an attempt at relating them with the UA coefficient is also presented.Units: SI
