Problem 2.(30 pt) Spent cooling water is recovered by evaporative cooling to reduce the
temperature of the water. If 100mo(l)/(m)in of liquid water at 87\deg C needs to be cooled to 70\deg C, what
is the required flow rate for the air stream assuming that the process is adiabatic, the vapor exit is
saturated air and the feed air is:
(a)20\deg C,80% relative humidity
(b)25\deg C,50% relative humidity
(c)30\deg C,10% relative humidity
Explain the results in terms of the relative importance of the air temperature and the humidity.
