Thermofluid Design and Performance Evaluation of a Natural Draft Air-Cooled Condenser Towards Annual Performance Modeling of Concentrated Solar Power Plants
This paper presents the sizing and performance evaluation of a natural draft air-cooled condenser, with a nominal heat rejection rate of 75 MWth, for implementation at a concentrated solar power plant in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Initial sizing and optimization of the tower geometry is done with the a...
