Water exiting the condenser of a power plant at 38ºC enters a cooling tower with a massflow rate of 4.5 x 107 kg/h. A stream of cooled water is returned to the condenser from acooling tower with a temperature of 30ºC and the same flow rate. Makeup water is addedin a separate stream at 20ºC. Atmospheric air enters the cooling tower at 25ºC and 35%relative humidity. Moist air exits the tower at 30ºC and 95% relative humidity.Determine the mass flow...
4. Liquid water at 100°F and 200 gal/min volumetric flow rate enters a cooling tower operating at steady state. Atmospheric air enters with a dry-bulb temperature of 80°F and a wet-bulb temperature of 60°F. Moist air exits the cooling tower at 90° and 90% relative humidity. Makeup water is provided at 80°F. Calculate the mass flow rates of the dry air and makeup water, each in lb/min, versus return water temperature at 80, 90, and 100°F. Ignore kinetic and potential...
Water entering a wet cooling tower at 35°C at a rate of 100 kg/s is cooled to 22°C in the cooling tower by air that enters the tower at 1 atm, 20°C, and 60% relative humidity and leaves saturated at 30°C. The makeup water of 22°C is supplied to the outlet to make the mass flow rate of the cool water the same as that at the inlet, see Figure Q5. Q.5Water entering a wet cooling tower at 35°C at...

An evaporative cooling tower removes 1 x 106 Btu/hr of heat from the cooling water from a condenser of a steam power plant. The temperature of the water is reduced from 120 °F to 110 °F. Air enters the cooling tower at 91 °F and 60% relative humidity and air leaves at 100 °F and 82% relative humidity. The quantity of make-up water is:
Air at 95°F, 1 atm, and 10% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooler operating at steady state. The volumetric flow rate of the incoming air is 895 ft3/min. Liquid water at 68°F enters the cooler and fully evaporates. Moist air exits the cooler at 70°F, 1 atm. There is no significant heat transfer between the device and its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. a)Determine the mass flow rate of the dry air in lb(dry air)/min....
A combined gas-steam power plant uses a simple gas turbine for the topping cycle and a simple Rankine cycle for the bottoming cycle. Atmospheric air enters the compressor at 101 kPa and 20 °C, and the maximum gas cycle temperature is 1100 °C. The compressor pressure ratio is 8. The gas stream leaves the heat exchanger at the saturation temperature of the steam flowing through the heat exchanger. Steam enters the heat exchanger at a pressure of 6 MPa and...
Q.3 Outside air at 90°F, 1 atm, and 95% relative humidity with a flow rate of 4000 cfm is blown over an evaporator of a refrigeration system and exits at 75°F and 60% relative humidity. The refrigeration system has operating with the COP of 2.5. Determine (a) the amount of cooling provided by the evaporator Btu/hr (b) the amount of water condensed in the evaporator, lbm/hr and (c) the power required by the compressor of the refrigerator in kW. 1...
Problem 8.015 Water is the working fluid in a Rankine cycle. Steam exits the steam generator at 1500 lbf/in.2 and 1100℉ Due to heat transfer and frictional effects in the line connecting the steam generator and turbine, the pressure and temperature at the turbine inlet are reduced to 1400 Ibf/in.2 and 1000 , respectively. Both the turbine and pump have isentropic efficiencies of 95%. Pressure at the condenser inlet is 2 lbf/ in.2, but due to frictional effects the condensate...
