Question

1. A cooling tower has an efficiency of 65%. Water 

enters the tower at 55°C. The wet bulb

temperature of surrounding air is 27°C. What is 

the temperature of water leaving the tower?

a. 36.8°C b. 44.5°C

c. 46.9°C d. 30.4°C

2. The change of temperature entering the cooling 

tower and wet bulb temperature of surrounding 

air is 25°C and efficiency is 65%. If mass of 

water leaving the tower is 10 kg/s, determine 

the heat carried by air.

a. 720 kW b. 540 kW

c. 680 kW d. 700 kW

3. The approach and efficiency of cooling tower is 

10°C and 60%, respectively. If temperature of 

water leaving the tower is 37°C, what is the 

temperature of water entering?

a. 46°C b. 52°C

c. 68°C d. 48°C

4. A cooling tower is used to cool a jacket water 

loss from the engine. The heat generated by

fuel is 2,500 kW and cooling loss is 30%. If 

temperature range of the tower is 15°C.

Determine the mass flow of water entering the 

tower.

a. 12 kg/s b. 14 kg/s

c. 16 kg/s d. 18 kg/s
