Abstract
- Polyvinyl chloride materials used in cooling towers always lead to damage and low efficiency due to the hot and humid environment. This paper suggests a glass fiber reinforced material for a better performance. An optimal fractal distribution-of glass fibers in the composite matrix is experimentally obtained when the fractal dimensions are between 0.6 and 0.9.
