You Have Been Asked To Evaluate The Economic Implications Of Various Methods For Cocling Condenser Eftluents From A 200 1 (20.52 KiB) Viewed 37 times

You have been asked to evaluate the economic implications of various methods for cocling condenser eftluents from a 200−MWW steamelectric plant, There are two basic types of cocling towers: wet and dry. Furthermore, heat may be removed from condenser water by (1) forcing (mechanically) air through the tower or (2) allowing heat transfer to occur by making use of natural draft. Consequently, there are four basic cooling tower designs that could be considered. Assuming that the cost of capital to the utility company is 12% per year, your job is to recommend the best alleenative (i.e., the least expensive during the service Ife). Further, assume that each alternative is capable of satisfactoriy removing waste heat from the condensers of a 200−MW power plant. What noneconomic factors can you identify that might also play a fole in the decision-making process? Click the icon to view the alternatives description.
