Abstract :Temperature control is a significant requirement in the most industrial process. In this regard, cooling towers are key parts of many power plant installations. Operation of the cooling tower as heat rejection device is based on a principle where waste thermal energy is extracted from hot water to the atmosphere using relatively cool and dry air. In this study, a review study is carried out to investigate different types of cooling towers, their application, performance, usage and working principles, which can be useful in the field of nuclear plants as well as other energy stations. A number of investigations have been considered to reveal differences between the used cooling towers and finally a Fluent simulation has been carried out to examine major contours and flow field around the cooling tower.Keywords : Cooling tower, Heat exchanger, Nuclear Energy
