QUESTION 2 A new induced raft cooling tower is circulating 120 000 L/h of water that is cooled from 50 °C to 22 °C. How much blow-down and make-up is required to maintain the concentration of dissolved solids in the circulating water at four times the concentration in the make-up water? Assume the following: - The evaporated water contains no dissolved solids so all solids entering the system in the make-up must be removed by blow-down and windage. - The windage value of the induced draft cooling tower is 0.3% for each 5.6 °C. - The evaporative losses value is 1.1%.

QUESTION 2
A new induced raft cooling tower is circulating 120 000 L/h of water that is cooled from
50 °C to 22 °C. How much blow-down and make-up is required to maintain the
concentration of dissolved solids in the circulating water at four times the concentration
in the make-up water?
Assume the following:
- The evaporated water contains no dissolved solids so all solids entering the
system in the make-up must be removed by blow-down and windage.
- The windage value of the induced draft cooling tower is 0.3% for each 5.6 °C.
- The evaporative losses value is 1.1%.
