ESTOWER: an expert system for the thermal design of wet cooling towers

An expert system based on logic programming has been developed, using a systematic procedure for the thermal design of natural and mechanical draft wet cooling towers of the counterflow and crossflow types. The present system is based on a rule-based system. The "VIDHI", expert-system she...
