Abstract

A study was conducted on the effectiveness of using vertical baffles to improve the thermal performance of power plant cooling ponds. A small scale physical model of a rectangular cooling pond was used. A base case was established using traditional horizontal baffles to create a serpentine flow pattern through the pond. The horizontal baffles were then replaced by a series of underflow weirs that spanned the pond. An improvement in cooling of over 30% was realized.
