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...

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...

Which of the following is an example of homeostasis? a. In hot and dry temperatures, plants will eventually wilt as the amount of water lowers in their cells. b. Water moves down its concentration gradient. c. When the concentration of glucose in the blood is low, glycogen is broken down into glucose. d. A human's body temperature increases while running. e. Uterine contractions trigger the release of a hormone that then triggers stronger uterine contractions.

A hot-air balloon stays aloft because hot air at atmospheric pressure is less dense than cool air at the same pressure. The volume of a balloon is V = 1000.0 m3, and the surrounding air has a temperature T0 which is 10.0 degrees C. The density of air at 10.0 degrees C and atmospheric pressure is p0=1.23 kg m-3. a. What must the temperature T of the air in the balloon be for it to lift a total load of...

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.

CITIC Tower II: The Real Option It was three o’ clock on a hot afternoon in Hong Kong in mid-2000. Larry Yung, Chairman of Citic Pacific Limited (“CPL”), was having a board meeting with his property development rd team. From his window on the 33 floor of Citic Tower, he could see the impressive Victoria Harbour and an undeveloped prime waterfront site. This piece of reclaimed land had been purchased by a company six months earlier at a public auction....
