Kindly answer correctly. Please show the necessary steps. Thanks in advance.

Question 3
A cooling tower is designed to cool 340 kg of water per minute. The water is supplied at 42°C and it is
sprayed down into the column of air which enters the bottom of the tower at a rate of 540 kg/min with
a temperature of 18°C and relative humidity of 60%. The moist air leaves the top of the tower saturated
at 27°C. The whole process occurs at a constant pressure of 1.013 bar.
3.1
Give three reasons for water loss in cooling towers, and determine
the temperature of the water leaving the tower, and
the flow rate of make-up water required to replace the evaporated.
