4 Design Consideration of Counterflow Cooling Tower Performance Base on the following Design Data  The total heat load to be removed from several process by cooling tower is 20,000,000 Btu/hr  Wet bulb temperature = 65°F  Dry bulb temperature = 85°F  Hot water temperature = 100°F  Approach temperature = 15°F  Water flow rate = 1000 gpm  A tower 24ft by 24ft has been constructed with a fan capacity of 130,000 cfm Necessary Design Output  How many diffusion units must the tower be capable of performing to fulfil the process requirements?

5 Solving the Problem by Numerical Integration Calculate the Enthalpy of Saturated Air At 65°F the saturation partial pressure of water is psia and latent heat of vaporization is Btu/lb. [From Thermodynamic Properties of Stream – Temperature Table] Humidity, Enthalpy above 0°F,

14 Solving the Problem by the Nomograph Method Procedures WB = 65°F, Cooling Range = 20°F, CW = 80°F, L/G =  Draw the straight line with wet bulb 65°F, cooling range 20°F, and cold water 80°F.  Establish a line drawn through L/G = and parallel to the original line.  Read the (KaV)/L value at that place passing through the line.
