Hi everyone!

Do you know whether it is possible to estimate the rate of evaporation in a wet cooling tower? A rule-of-thumb indicates that the evaporation rate is approximately 1% of the water flow-rate per each 10°F of cooling range. Otherwise, this rule-of-thumb doesn't take into account the meteorological conditions as the dry-bulb temperature and the relative humidity of the inlet air.

If you have heard about some studies about this, I would be pleased to know more about them.

Thank you.
