Question: A packed countercurrent water - cooling tower using air flow rate of G = 1 . 4 k g dry air / s . m

A packed countercurrent water-cooling tower using air flow rate of G=1.4kg dry air/s.m2 and a water flow rate of L=1.4kg water ?s*m2 is to cool the water from 44C to 30C. The entering air at 28C has a wet bulb temperature of 22C. The overall mass transfer coefficient KGa is estimated as 1.510-7kgmols.m3. Pa. The tower operates at pressure of 1atm.
Design a Cooling Tower that meets the requirements. Discuss other factors to real design.
