Question
Air enters a cooling tower at a rate of 1100 cubic meters per minute, at 15°C and
65% relative humidity. Atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Water enters the tower at
38°C and leaves at 17°C. Air leaves the tower at 31°C and saturated. Using a
psychrometric chart calculate the absolute humidity of the air leaving the cooling
tower.
