VERA2D is a computer program for steady two-dimensional analysis of flow, heat, and mass transfer in wet cooling towers. The code is written in FORTRAN IV language and is applicable to the following types of towers: (1) mechanical draft crossflow; (2) mechanical draft counterflow; (3) natural draft crossflow; and (4) natural draft counterflow. The description of VERA2D has been provided in two volumes. Volume 1 describes the mathematical formulation, solution procedure, and several applications of the code. Some overall features of the code such as capabilities and limitations are described in both the volumes.
