Minimum Weight Design of Hyperbolic Cooling Towers
Publication: Journal of the Structural Division
Volume 95, Issue 2
Abstract
The minimum weight design of hyperbolic cooling towers is examined. Taking the duty-performance coefficient as the primary behavior constraint, the design is formulated as a constrained optimization problem, and the critical dimensions of the lightest towers for various values of the duty-performance coefficient are tabulated considering a wide range of shell parameters. In general, the towers with sharper curvature appeared to be lighter when compared to other towers with the same duty-performance coefficient.
