A turbo-charge, 16 cylinder, Vee-type diesel engine has an air consumption of 3,000 kg/hr per cylinder at rated load and speed. This air is drawn in through a filter by a centrifugal compressor directly connected to the exhaust gas turbine. The temperature of the air from the compressor is 145 C and a counter flow air cooler reduces the air temperature to 45 C before it goes to the engine suction header. Cooling water enters air cooler at 30 C and leaves at 38 C. Calculate the quantity of cooling water in m3/hr required to cool the total air requirements of the engine at rated load and speed.

A turbo-charge, 16 cylinder, Vee-type diesel engine has an air
consumption of 3,000 kg/hr per cylinder at rated load and speed. This
air is drawn in through a filter by a centrifugal compressor directly
connected to the exhaust gas turbine. The temperature of the air from
the compressor is 145 C and a counter flow air cooler reduces the air temperature to 45 C before it goes to the engine suction header. Cooling water enters air cooler at 30 C and leaves at 38 C. Calculate
the quantity of cooling water in m3/hr required to cool the total air
requirements of the engine at rated load and speed. ( hint: use AMTD)
