Flow rate of water returning to cooling tower 100 = 1962 m3/hr

Flow rate of air per fan = 172.88
Number of fans in operation = 3
Flow rate of air entering cooling tower = 518.64
Dry bulb temperature = 45 °C
318 K
Atmospheric pressure at altitude of CT-100 93743 Pa
Gas constant = R = 8.314 Nm/gmol-K
Molecular weight of air = 29
Density of air Entering CT-100 = 1.028 Kg/m3
G1 = G2 = G = Flow rate of air entering = Flow rate of air leaving = 1919851
Relative humidity of air entering cooling tower = 32.2%
Vapor pressure of water at dry bulb temp by antoine equation = 71.70 mmHg
9560 Pa
Since % Relative humidity = (Pw/Pw0)
Partial pressure of water = 3077 Pa
