Question 1 A forced draft countercurrent water cooling tower is to cool water from 43.3 to...
need an answer for this question, please. thanks. An existing packed countercurrent water-cooling tower was designed to cool water from 107.6 degree F to 82.4 degree F. The air enters at 82.4 degree F with a wet bulb temperature of 72.5 degree F. The water flow rate is 1900 lb_m water/h.ft^2 and the gas flowrate is 1450 lb_m dry air/h.ft^2. The tower operates at a pressure of 1 atm. Given the overall mass-transfer coefficient (K_ca) is 6.75 lb mol/h.ft^3. Determine...
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...
2. (25 pts) Nuclear power plants have large amounts of heated water to cool, which may be done in a cooling tower. A sample tower reduces the temperature of warm water from 130 F to 90'F (see figure at right). Air without water vapor flows into the tower at Wet air 156,900 b/hr 151,000 lb/hr Given that the air removing heat along with some water flows at 156,900 lb/hr, what is the flowrate of the cooled warm water 250,000 lb/hr...
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...
H1- COOLING TOWER [10 p] 1. What is the wet bulb temperature? How can you measure it? Is the wet-bulb temperature greater than dry-bulb temperature? Why? [10 p] 2. A cooling tower is to be designed to cool 8 kg/s of water from 37°C to 29 °C. Entering air is 25 °C and at 30 % relative humidity. Leaving air is 22 °C and at 90% relative humidity. a) Calculate the air flow rate, G. b) Determine the possible lowest...
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:
If the cooling water (cp = 4180 J/kg·ºC) from the above problem is to be provided evenly by 10 cooling towers. Humid air enters each tower at 1 atm, 15 ºC and 20% relative humidity, and leaves at 20 ºC and 0.014 kg of water/kg of dry air. Determine the required volume flow rate of air through each cooling tower. Air exit 20 °C, 0 = 0.014 kg of water/kg of air Warm water 40 °C Air inlet 1 atm...
