  I guess CEans would be happy to help you if you ask specific questions. What are the difficulties you are facing in the design of cooling towers?

  cooling tower efficiency calculation
  
  im a 3rd yr mech engg student in an anna university affiliated college at
  Nagercoil in TamilNAdu
  im doing "fabrication of cooling tower" as mini project
  the tower possess "mechanical draft cooling system"
  I want to calculate the efficiency of cooling tower
  pls help me to find a soln😕

  Do you already have your data for the calculation?

  i dont knw wat are readings that is to be taken from the cooling tower 4 efficiency calculation??

  You will need the following data:
  
  cooling water flow rate
  cooling water inlet temp
  cooling water exit temp
  in air wet bulb temp
  in air dry bulb temp
  exit air wet bulb temp
  exit air dry bulb temp
  
  then you will need to calculate the following:
  
  waterside actual heat load
  in air wet bulb absolute humidity
  in air dry bulb absolute humidity
  % of saturation
  enthalpy condition at inlet & outlet
  calculate air flow on heat load of enthalpy condition
  calculate heat needed for evap
  
  This will get you started...
