1. A 5,000 kg/min of water at 35°C enters a cooling tower where it is to be cooled to 20 °C. The energy is to be exchanged with atmospheric air entering the unit at 16°C and leaving the unit at 32°C. The air enters at 35% RH and leaves at 80% RH: If all process are assumed to occur at atmospheric pressure, determine the percentage of total water flow that is makeup water.

1. A 5,000 kg/min of water at 35°C enters a cooling tower where it is to be cooled to 20 °C. The energy is to be exchanged with atmospheric air entering the unit at 16°C and leaving the unit at 32°C. The air enters at 35% RH and leaves at 80% RH: If all process are assumed to occur at atmospheric pressure, determine the percentage of total water flow that is makeup water.

2. A 45 GPM of water enters a cooling tower at 50°C. Atmospheric air at 14°C and 50% RH enters the tower at 3.5 m and leaves at 25°C saturated. Determine the volume of water that leaves the tower.

1. A 5,000 kg/min of water at 35°C enters a cooling tower where it is to be cooled to 20 °C. The energy is
to be exchanged with atmospheric air entering the unit at 16°C and leaving the unit at 32°C. The air
enters at 35% RH and leaves at 80% RH. If all process are assumed to occur at atmospheric
pressure, determine the percentage of total water flow that is makeup water.
2. A 45 GPM of water enters a cooling tower at 50°C. Atmospheric air at 14°C and 50% RH enters the
tower at 3.5 m³/s and leaves at 25°C saturated. Determine the volume of water that leaves the tower.
