A wet cooling tower is to cool 25 kg/sec of cooling water from 40oC to 25oC at a location where the atmospheric pressure remains constant at 97 kPa. Atmospheric air enters the tower at 25oC and 65% relative humidity and leaves saturated at 35oC. Neglecting the power input to the fan, determine the mass flow rate of the required makeup water.

a) A natural draft cooling tower is used to cool the condenser of a 100 MW power plant. The water enters the tower at 40 °C at a rate of 80 kg/s. The range value of cooling tower is 15 °C. The water is cooled by air stream and the air entering the tower is at 1.01325 bar, 23°C and 60% relative humidity. The air leaves the tower as saturated at 32°C. According to the given data, using pyschrometric chart...

This is problem 7-6 from El-Wakil’s Powerplant Technology book -- a wet cooling tower receives 1.5x106 lbm/min of condenser water at 96 degFahrenheit, and 1.25x106 lbm/min of air at 1 standard atmosphere, 62 degFahrenheit, and 50 percent relative humidity. The air leaves saturated at 82 degFahrenheit. Calculate (a) the exit water temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, and (b) the percent condenser cooling water makeup due to evaporation.

The mean water temperature downstream from a power plant cooling tower discharge pipe should be no more than 97oF. Past experience has indicated that the standard deviation of temperature is 2oF. The water temperature is measured on 4 randomly chosen days, and the average temperature is found to be 94oF. Conduct a hypothesis testing using the 7 steps at a 5% significance level.

The mean water temperature downstream from a discharge pipe at a power plant cooling tower should be no more than 100°F. Past studies has shown that the standard deviation of temperature is 2°F. The water temperature was measured on 10 randomly chosen days, and the results are shown below: 96.15 97.81 97.09 95.08 99.46 100.03 99.74 98.85 95.08 98.71 a. State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for the above problem. b. Is there evidence that the water temperature is...

Newton's Law of Cooling: Boil water in a cup and cool in a room at 32∘C. Assume that Newton's Law of Cooling is satisfied: the rate of change of water temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the environment. We take the water temperature after 5 minutes and find it to be 83∘C. Establish and solve an Initial Value Problem to express the water temperature as a function of time, graph...

Water specimens are taken from water used for cooling as it is being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150°F, there will be no negative effects on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether the plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150°F, researchers will take 50 water specimens at randomly selected times and...

In a pharmaceutical application distilled water with a flow rate of 34560 kg/hr is to cool ethyl alcohol in a parallel flow heat exchanger. The alcohol flowing at 31320 kg/hr enters the exchanger at 75oC and is cooled to 45oC. Assuming that the water flows through the tubes and enters the exchanger at 15oC, determine, for an overall heat transfer coefficient of 0.5kW/m2K the dissipation rate, together with the required heat transfer area. The specific heat capacity of both the...

(a)250 kg of water at 1 bar and 35°C is turned into wet steam at 7 bar (x = 0.95). Given at 1 bar hf = 417 kJ/kg, hfg = 2258 kJ/kg, Tsat = 100°C and at 7 bar hf = 697 kJ/kg, hfg = 2067 kJ/kg, Tsat = 165°C. Determine the energy required. (b)Determine the mass of dry saturated steam at 1 bar that must be added to 500 kg of water at 20°C to achieve a final water...
