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 air conditioner operating at steady state takes in moist air at 30 °C, 1 bar and a wet bulb temperature of 25 °C. The moist air is cooled in the dehumidifier unit and some of the water is removed. There is 10 tons of cooling in the dehumidifier (also called the evaporator of an air conditioner). The condensate and the saturated air stream discharging the section is at 10 °C The moist air is then heated in the heater...
