6. Water enters a coolint tower at 50 C and leaves at 38 C.

Ambient air enters at 30 C, 50 % RH and leaves in a

saturated condition at 40 C. Determine (a) mass and volume of air needed to cool one kg of water (b) CFM of
ambient air needed to cool GPM of water (c) CFM of ambient air needed to cool 250 GPM of water.

Point 1: 30oC, 50 %RH

Point 2: 40oC, 100 %RH
Point 3: 53oC
Point 4: 38oC

h1= 64.252KJ/kg
h2= 166.654 KJ/kg
h3= 209.33 KJ/kg
h4= 159.21 KJ/kg

a) Basis: 1 kg H2O
c) CFM to cool 250 GPM of water
