73-04: Predictions of Drift Deposition From Salt Water Cooling Towers

A model for the calculation of drift deposition from salt water cooling towers has been developed. It incorporates a diffusion type equation that describes the spatial rate of change in droplet concentration as a function of their radii, atmospheric conditions (such as relative humidity, temperature and wind speed), Changes in droplet sizes due to evaporation or condensation, and changes in salt concentration in the droplet.
