THE PREDICTION OF THE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN AN IRREGULARLY SHAPED, PARTIALLY MIXED, CLOSED-CYCLE COOLING RESERVOIR

摘要

A computational procedure is described appropriate for a closed-cycle system composed of a series of cooling lakes with an arbitrary number of sidearms. Sample calculations are pre¬sented for a case involving four cooling lakes arranged in series, each with a number of sidearms. Computed surface tem¬perature rises are compared with the ideal, slug-flow case to determine the cooling effectiveness for this case.
