The aim of this paper is to present scaling laws for a dry natural draft cooling tower by modelling the heat exchanger and the tower supports as a porous medium. Porous medium modelling of the tube bundles that allows a vigorous theoretical analysis of the problem is adopted. Scale analysis is used

At present, direct contact condensers are the most widely used type in geothermal plants around the world. They have technical and economic advantages over surface condensers. The latter are only used where there are environmental problems associated with the release of polluting gases to the atmosp

Optimized design of metal foam heat exchangers, as replacements for finned-tubes in air-cooled condensers of a geothermal power plant, is presented here. Two different optimization techniques, based on first and second law (of thermodynamics) are reported. While the former aims at the highest heat t
