A wet cooling tower is used to transfer heat from cooling water to the air. The air enters the cooling tower at 1 atm, 15°C, and a relative humidity of 40%. The air exits as saturated air at 1 atm and 32°C. The cooling water enters the cooling tower at 35°C and exits the cooling tower at 20°C. The mass flow rate of the entering cooling water is 500 kg/s. Determine the rate at which water must be replaced in the cooling water returning to the process, and the volumetric flow rate of the incoming moist air to the cooling tower.
