The mechanical draft wet cooling tower is the most commonly adopted heat dissipation system in the air conditioning and energy industries. Complex ambient conditions influence the aerodynamic behavior of plumes along with topography, such as nearby buildings and it is difficult to predict plume condensation behavior either experimentally or analytically. A computational fluid dynamic model is developed for condensation of water vapor from a mechanical draft wet cooling tower. This study applies realistic operating conditions, comprised of speed, wind direction, ambient air relative humidity, and air volume flow rate coming out of a tower. The effects of plume interactions with nearby buildings are parametrically investigated for the operating conditions using a newly proposed condensation model. It is found that the condensation behavior predicted by the computational fluid dynamic simulation with the developed model is reasonably interpreted with other thermohydraulic parameters.
