Golshani and Amir Mahdi Ghasemi and Morteza Anbarsooz and M. Moghiman}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Observations show that power plant efficiency decreases in hot summer days. Water droplet injection in air condensers is suggested in order to decrease the inlet air temperature. Nozzle arrangement, injected water flow rate and droplets diameter effects on evaporation rate and the resulting air temperature are investigated using numerical simulation. Decreasing the diameter of injected droplets and increasing the number of injecting nozzles, decreases the outlet air temperature. Also a more uniform air temperature can be obtained using more injecting nozzles. Numerical results are in good agreement with analytical results.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, year = {2010}, pages = {230 - 234}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6595}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/38}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 38, 2010}, }
