Part-II (80 Points) An adiabatic cooling tower is used to reduce the temperature of water from
40C to 25C. Air enters the bottom of the tower at 20C and a relative humidity of 50%.
Air exits the top of the tower at 32C and a relative humidity of 95%. The mass flow rate of
the water which enters the tower is 10,000kg per minute.
a)(10 pt.) Plot the flow diagram of the cooling tower process.
b)(20 pt.) Write the mass and energy balances at steady state conditions (state your
assumptions).
c)(40 pt.) Estimate mass flow rate of air entering the cooling tower and water which
leaves the cooling tower with air.
d)(10 pt.) Find the efficiency of the tower and state the (five) factors that affect the
cooling tower efficiency.
Data:
hwater(25C)=104.8kJkg
hwater(40C)=167.5kJkg PLEASE SOLVE BY HANDWRITING AND DO NOT COPY!
