A cooling tower cools water from 35°C to 27°C, as seen in Figure P8.35. The tower receives 200 m'/s of atmospheric air at 30°C and 40% relative humidity. The air leaves the tower at 33°C and 95% relative humidity. Estimate the mass flow rate of water being cooled and the mass flow rate of make- up water. 33°C and 95% humidity 35°C Air at 35°C and 40% humidity 27°C Water FIGURE P8.35

Transcribed Image Text:A cooling tower cools water from 35°C to 27°C, as
seen in Figure P8.35. The tower receives 200 m'/s
of atmospheric air at 30°C and 40% relative
humidity. The air leaves the tower at 33°C and 95%
relative humidity. Estimate the mass flow rate of
water being cooled and the mass flow rate of make-
up water.
