Introduction
The cooling tower is one of the most important device in
chemical industries for example when the hot water come
from heat exchanger we use the cooling tower to cool it.
Also can be get HGi from the Temperature Enthalpy diagram and
the operating line then get the number of transfer unit (NTU) by
determine the area under the curve then find the overall mass
transfer coefficient.
Results:
At Q = 1.0 kW
L1 = 0.04 kg/s
Q = 0.524 kW
NTU = 0.285
HTU = 1.68 m
HG Lm = 49.23 kJ/kg dry air
KGa = 2.9 e-6 kg mol/s.m2
At Q = 1.5 kW
L1 = 0.0401 kg/s
Q = 1.25 kW
NTU = 0.0879
HTU = 5.523 m
HG Lm = 60.39 kJ/kg
KGa = 9.73 e-7 kg mol/s.m2
