Steam flow distribution in air-cooled condensers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1996-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
In this thesis the parameters affecting the steam flow distribution through an air-cooled
steam condenser, as found in power generating plants is investigated. The investigated
condenser configuration ...
The influence of geometry on dragline bucket filling performance
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1997)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis desc1ibes the procedure followed in order to establish geometry changes to the
current lig!1tweight dragline bucket lmilt by Wright Equipment Compan:Y to improve its
performance. The bucket ...
The design of a single rotor axial flow fan for a cooling tower application
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 1994-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A design methodology for low pressure rise, rotor only, ducted
axial flow fans is formulated, implemented and validated using
the operating point specifications of a 1/6th scale model fan
as a reference. ...
Enhancement of cooling tower performance by manipulation of rain zone drop size
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1995-03)
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die moontlikheid om die warmteoordrag in die reensone van 'n natuurlike trek nat koeltoring
te vcrbeter deur die gemiddelde druppel diameter van die sproei te verminder is ondersoek.
Eksperimentele ...
The design of a low-noise rotor-only axial flow fan series
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 1997-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A design routine was derived for designing a series of rotor-only axial flow fans. The routine was
applied by designing two different series of axial flow fans. The first design was for a general
application ...
Design of medium pressure nozzles for cooling towers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1997-05)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This project concerns the investigation of parameters controlling the behaviour of full-cone
spray nozzles of the type used in cooling towers.
In the present study large medium pressure hollow and full ...
Losses in the inlet section of counterflow wet-cooling towers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1998-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The flow resistances in the inlet sections of counterflow wet-cooling towers are investigated and
correlations are derived for inclusion in a one-dimensional tower performance model.
The rain zone loss ...
Die invloed van versteurde inlaatvloeipatrone op aksiaalwaaiers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1990-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The causes of disturbances in the flow patterns at the
inlets of axial flow fans that are used in mechanical draft
cooling towers and the effects of these disturbances on the
fans, were investigated.
A ...
Optimization of fir-tree-type turbine blade roots using photoelasticity
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 1992-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The large variety of turbo-machinery blade root geometries in
use in industry prompted the question if a optimum geometry could be found. An optimum blade root was defined as a root with a practical ...
Performance characteristics of hybrid cooling towers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1995-09)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Different wet/dry and dry/wet cooling tower configurations are investigated and the
advantages and disadvantages of separate and combined (hybrid) configurations are discussed.
Some existing hybrid ...
