A natural-draft cooling tower receives 250,000 ft3/min of air at standard atmospheric pressure, 70 oF, and 45 percent relative humidity. The air leaves saturated at 100oF. 3500 gallons per minute of water at 104 oF is cooled. Calculate (a) the temperature of the water at the tower exit, and (b) the necessary height of the tower if the total pressure losses are 2.00 lbf/ft2.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

The higher the astm grain-size number, the coarser the grain is. a)-true b)-false

Steam enters a converging nozzle at 3.0 mpa and 500°c with a at 1.8 mpa. for a nozzle exit area of 32 cm2, determine the exit velocity, mass flow rate, and exit mach number if the nozzle: negligible velocity, and it exits (a) is isentropic (b) has an efficiency of 94 percent
