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 capable to the following types of towers: mechanical draft crossflow; mechanical draft counterflow; natural draft crossflow; and 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. Volume 2 is the user's manual which explains: how to prepare input data; how to interpret output; specific examples of input/output features; code structure and functions of subroutines; and compiled empirical data for the commonly used fills. Some overall features of the code such as capabilities and limitations are described in both volumes.
