This is problem 7-6 from El-Wakil’s Powerplant Technology book-- a wet cooling tower receives 1.5x106lbm/min of condenser water at 96 degFahrenheit, and1.25x106 lbm/min of air at 1 standardatmosphere, 62 degFahrenheit, and 50 percent relative humidity. Theair leaves saturated at 82 degFahrenheit. Calculate (a) the exitwater temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, and (b) the percentcondenser cooling water makeup due to evaporation.
