Air enters a cooling tower at a rate of 1100 cubic meters per minute, at 15°C and
65% relative humidity. Atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Water enters the tower at
38°C and leaves at 17°C. Air leaves the tower at 31°C and saturated. Using a
psychrometric chart calculate the absolute humidity of the air leaving the cooling
tower.
0.029 kg water vapour/kg air
0.069 kg water vapour/kg air
O 0.0101 kg water vapour/kg air
0.364 kg water vapour/kg air
Using your psychrometric chart, solve the
properties of air at 23 °C and
relative humidity of 50%.
1. Water at 30 °C flows into a cooling tower at the rate of 1.15 kg per kg air. Air enters the tower
at the dbt of 20 °C and a relative humidity of 60 % and leaves it at a dbt of 28 °C and 90%
relative humidity. Makeup water is supplied at 20 °C. Atmospheric pressure remains at 1 atm.
Determine (a) the temperature of water leaving the tower, (b) the fraction of water evaporated,
and (c) the approach and range of the cooling tower. Draw the temperature relationship.
