TEFERI: numerical model for calculating the performance of an evaporative cooling tower

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5283100
The program TEFERI is written in Fortran IV language as a function of ambient conditions and the characteristics of the water and the air at the exit for all evaporative cooling towers: natural draft or mechanical, counter-flow or cross-flow. For natural draft, it is possible to take into account a vertical gradient of exterior temperature. After the presentation of the methods used for the calculation of exchange and the air flow rate, this report gives the method of use of the model.
