Analyzing Cooling TowersIn the condenser of a power plant,

Chapter 12, Problem 103P

(choose chapter or problem)

In the condenser of a power plant, energy is discharged by heat transfer at a rate of 836 MW to cooling water that exits the condenser at \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) into a cooling tower. Cooled water at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is returned to the condenser. Atmospheric air enters the tower at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm, 35% relative humidity. Moist air exits at \(35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm, 90% relative humidity. Makeup water is supplied at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). For operation at steady state, determine the mass flow rate, in kg/s, of

(a) the entering atmospheric air.

(b) the makeup water.

Ignore kinetic and potential energy effects.
