EDUCATION

October 2009 June 2011

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Major area: Thermal & Fluid Sciences
Thesis: under the title of thesis "Performance Evaluation of Seawater Counter
Flow Cooling Towers" study of counter flow cooling tower for fresh water and
seawater is investigated experimentally and is validated by simulating the
performance by developing a numerical code. The second law (exergy) analysis
is also carried out on both fresh water and seawater cooling towers. The
thermal performance of the cooling tower for fresh water and seawater is
clearly explained in terms of exergy distribution of air and water along the
height of the tower. In addition, performance results identifying important
cooling tower variables such as air and water effectiveness, second law
efficiency are examined as a function of mass flow rate ratio ( MR = m&W / m&a )
for different water salinities both for design and performance evaluation
purpose. Furthermore, the performance characteristics of spray (shower) towers
are investigated experimentally and compared with the fill packing tower.
