TP12-05: Cooling Tower Modeling ApproachVarious approaches to cooling tower modelling have been used by different authors. Some of these modelling approaches include the work of Lebrun and Aparecida (2002) titled Cooling Towers Model and Experimental Validation which presented a simplified method for analysing the combined heat and mass transfer phenomena in a cooling tower using Merkels theory as the theoretical basis for the model. Braun et al (1989) used the Effectiveness approach in
