6) The cooling water from the condenser of a power plant enters a wet cooling tower at 35°C at a rate of 120 kg/s. The water is cooled to 25°C in the cooling tower by air that enters the tower at 1atm, 20°C, and 50% relative humidity and leaves saturated at 30°C. Neglecting the power input to the fan, determine a) the volume flow rate of air into the cooling tower and b) the mass flow rate of the required makeup water.
