(Evaluation of the performance of wet cooling towers using graphene nanofluids) The research addressed that the scarcity of energy and water resources is a major challenge today for industrial processes. Therefore, energy and water conservation are important in current and future research.

Cooling towers are essential parts of many industrial processes that are used for the purpose of providing chilled water for heat exchangers used in production processes.

The main problems in these towers is the loss of large amounts of water during the cooling process in the form of water vapor released to the atmosphere for the purpose of achieving the cooling process of the remaining water.

Improving the performance of cooling towers can significantly reduce the amount of water consumed in that process, which leads to reducing the operating costs of those towers.

This practical study works on improving the performance of cooling towers through the use of nanotechnology to increase the thermal efficiency of the water used in the towers.

The results showed a significant increase in the performance efficiency of cooling towers in which nanofluids were used instead of regular water, as well as a decrease in the amount of water consumed in the process by up to 22% compared to normal water.
