Water needed to be cooled from 38°C to 33°C in a cooling tower with water flowrate of 110
kg/s. Ambient air is at 29°C, 90 KPa, and 50% Relative Humidity. Assuming that the air
reaches thermodynamics equilibrium with incoming water, evaluate the heat dissipation.
Consider an adiabatic saturation process where moist air is entering at 100 kPa and 303 K and leaving at
the wet bulb temperature 293 K. Determine the humidity ratio and relative humidity of the moist air at
the inlet state.
An air-conditioning system operates at a total pressure of 1 atm and consists of a heating section and an evaporative cooler. Air enters the heating section at 15OC and 55 percent relative humidity at a rate of 30 m3 /min, and it leaves the evaporative cooler at 25OC and 45 percent relatively humidity. Determine the TOR.

One stream passes through a heating section and leaves it with a relative humidity of 25%. The conditions of the other stream that bypasses the heater remains unchanged.
