Highlights Three mathematical models and the iterative algorithms were developed. Case studies were carried out to investigate the annual performance of the towers. The heat rejection rate and water consumption rate of the towers were compared. The pre-cooling enhancement can go up to 46% in the hottest month. Hybrid tower consumes 70% less water for every MW heat rejection than wet tower.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
