I am looking for information on the potential for icing of a proposed highway
bridge from the cooling tower plumes of a nearby coal power plant. The distance
from bridge to cooling tower would be approximately 1000 to 1200 feet. The
information could include case history or a report of similar situation, or
contact info for expert(s) who can assess the icing probability with analytical
modeling.
Thanks for your assistance.
There seems to be research, plus environmental documents. I used Google Scholar
and terms such as: icing highway plumes "cooling tower"
I noticed: www.isws.uiuc.edu/pubdoc/C/ISWSC-100.pdf and
deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/7389/5/bac0943.0001.001.pdf (granted,
1971)
This is more recent:
www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/communitypower/documents/applicant/afc/AFC_VOLUME_
2-appendices/Appendix%208.3-1.pdf
and www.ctre.iastate.edu/pubs/semisesq/session5/takle/index.htm
These might be resources:
www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=5094131
www.osti.gov/energycitations/product.biblio.jsp?osti_id=7363280
I typed "tennessee fog cooling towers" into Google search and found dozens of
related links regarding cooling towers, fog, effects on roads, etc.
