@article{"International Journal of Architectural, Civil and Construction Sciences:68470", author = "E. Asadzadeh and M. Alam", title = "A Survey on Hyperbolic Cooling Towers", abstract = "This study offers a comprehensive review of the
research papers published in the field of cooling towers and gives an
insight into the latest developments of the natural draught cooling
towers. Different modeling, analysis and design techniques are
summarized and the challenges are discussed. The 118 references
included in this paper are mostly concentrated on the review of the
published papers after 2005. The present paper represents a complete
collection of the studies done for cooling towers and would give an
updated material for the researchers and design engineers in the field
of hyperbolic cooling towers.
