Subject Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. Please answer in detail. QUESTION 15-COOLING TOWERS AND EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS A cooling tower is a device that cools a spray of water by passing it through a stream of air. If 15 m3/s of air is at 35 °C dry-bulb and 24 °C wet-bulb temperature and an atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa enters the tower and the air leaves saturated at 31 °C, (a) to what temperature can this airstream cool a spray of water...
fluid 12 6 Problem 5.12 An evaporative cooling tower (see the figure below) is used to cool water from 110 to 80 °F . Water enters the tower at a rate of 250,000 lbm/hr. Dry air (no water vapor) flows into the tower at a rate of 151,000 lbm/hr. If the rate of wet airflow out of the tower is 156,900 Ibm/hr. determine the rate of water evaporation in lbm/hr and the rate of cooled water flow in lbm/hr. Wet...
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:
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...
Air leaving a drier is frequently recirculated to minimize energy consumption. Calculate the fraction of the moist air leaving the drier is recirculated and the mass rate of fresh air (on a dry air basis). Wet Polymer Feed Dry Polymer Product Drier Fresh Air Recycle Moist Air Data around the drier are: Wet polymer feed: Ibm of wet polymer with1.3 Ibm water/lbm dry polymer Dry polymer product: 0.25 lbm water/lbm dry polymer Fresh air: 0.012 lbm water/lbm dry air Moist...
Moist air at 24°C, 1 atm, and 35% relative humidity enters an evaporative cooling unit operating at steady state consisting of a heating section followed by a soaked pad evaporative cooler operating adiabatically. The air passing through the heating section is heated to 45°C. Next, the air passes through a soaked pad exiting with 50% relative humidity. Using data from the psychrometric chart, determine: (a) the humidity ratio of the entering moist air mixture, in kg(vapor) per kg(dry air). (b)...

(10 pts) Six-thousand cubic feet per minutes (C.F.M.) of atmospheric air at 28°C (dry bulb) having a wet bulb temperature of 23°C is to be cooled in an air conditioning system. The air conditioning system lowers the dry bulb temperature of the air to 20° C. Cooling with dehumidification is accomplished using chilled water loop. The chilled water enters the loop at 5°C at a rate of 280 kg/min and experience a 5°C temperature increase. The atmospheric pressure is 1...
