Renovation of power plant cooling tower blowdown for recycle by evaporation: crystallization with interface enhancement. Final report, 1 August 1974--31 May 1976

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5227679
The effectiveness of a novel evaporation method which reduces the energy and capital cost requirements for the renovation/recycle of industrial wastewaters is discussed. Interface enhancement depends on foamy two-phase vapor/liquid flow induced during the evaporation of a liquid flowing over a heat transfer surface; this flow mode substantially increases the liquid's evaporation rate, after adding a surfactant.
