This paper refers to a study on the application of the thermodynamic analysis method proposed by
POPPE to model the thermodynamic behavior of countercurrent water cooling towers, to improve
performance. This method replaces the traditional method used today, more simple and less accurate, proposed by
MERKEL. The objective is to produce a mathematical routine using this method, to be used in supervisory systems in order to optimize the operation of these towers, looking at energy savings.
