A 350kW cooling tower cools water by passing water through a steam of air. The inlet air is 35ºC DB and 27ºC WB. The leaving saturated temperature is 31ºC. The water entering cooling tower is 43 ºC. Assume a 5K approach is used for condensing water system.
(a) What is the mass of air entering into cooling tower?
(b) What is the mass flow rate of condensing water?
(c) What is the rate of evaporative loss?
