A dynamic method is used to predict the liquid axial dispersion coefficient in cooling towers. A KCl tracer was employed on the water inlet on the top of the tower. Input and response signals were measured. Cooling tower parameters were determined by predicting the response tracer signal and curve fitting technique in the time domain.
