Abstract

Observations at power plants have indicated that vapor plumes emitted from cooling
towers frequently merge with smoke plumes released from stacks. Mergence of cooling tower
and stack plume leads to formation of acidic compounds which have adverse effects on the en-
vironment. Wind speed and direction play an important role in merging smoke and vapor
plume. This paper lists some arguments to verify that studies have not sufficiently addressed
stack and cooling tower plume mergence. In conclusion, the present authors hope to find more
information in the future with regard to vapor and smoke plume mergence.

Keywords

stack; cooling tower; plume mergence; wind speed and direction
