Question
Cooling water for a power plant is stored in a pond 900 m in length and
400 m wide. A dry wind at 300 K blows in a horizontal direction parallel to the 900 m side of the
pond at a velocity of 2 m/s. The cooling water is at 300 K. Known the air dynamic viscosity v=
1.67 x10m?/s.; the Re transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow is 500,000; and the
saturated water vapor pressure at 300 K is 3580 Pa; gas constant R= 8.3144 J/mole.K.
1.) At what position across the pond is the air flow no longer laminar? Would it reasonable
to assume that the mean gas-film mass transfer coefficient for water vapor in air is
dominated by turbulent flow mass transfer?
2.) As part of an engineering analysis to predict the evaporation rate of water from the pond,
determine the mean gas film mass transfer co-efficient.
3.) Calculate the rate of water evaporation from the pond.
