Dear All,

I am 2nd year chemical engineering student..
I am doing project on a designing of cooling tower as a task

I have Following information:
1) wet bulb -dry bulb temp. 2) water in and out temp.
3) volumetric flow rate of circulating water

i have managed to calculate its losses (evaporation, windage, etc.) , flow rate of makeup water required and L/G ratio.
And as mentioned in Perry's Handbook I can calculate the tower characteristic value solving Merkle's equation by Simpson rule.

Now the problem is how can i calculate required height of cooling tower by using tower characteristic and L/G ratio or from nomograph.

I have to calculate required height for Natural Draft cross flow cooling tower...

I have gone through many pdf from internet for this project.
Please provide me required nomograph for given task..

Please Help me.

Thank You..
Kalpesh
