1. Water at 30 °C flows into a cooling tower at the rate of 1.15 kg per kg air. Air enters the tower at the dbt of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 60 % and leaves it at a dbt of 28 °C and 90% relative humidity. Makeup water is supplied at 20 °C. Atmospheric pressure remains at 1 atm. Determine (a) the temperature of water leaving the tower, (b) the fraction of water evaporated, and (c) the approach and range of the cooling tower. Draw the temperature relationship.

1. Water at 30 °C flows into a cooling tower at the rate of 1.15 kg per kg air. Air enters the tower
at the dbt of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 60 % and leaves it at a dbt of 28 °C and 90%
relative humidity. Makeup water is supplied at 20 °C. Atmospheric pressure remains at 1 atm.
Determine (a) the temperature of water leaving the tower, (b) the fraction of water evaporated,
and (c) the approach and range of the cooling tower. Draw the temperature relationship.
