and leaves at 30°C and 80 percent relative humidity. Neglecting the power input to
the fan, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air into the cooling tower and (b) the
mass flow rate of the required makeup water.(c) the mass flow rate of the water
that leaves the wet cooling tower. (d) the water that leaves the cooling tower is less
than the inlet water. Discuss this issue. (e) in your opinion if the relative humidity
of the air that inters the cooling tower is less than 40 percent would this increase or
decrease the value of the make up water.
