Drift in a cooling tower is ___________________?
Correct answer: A. The water entrained by the circulating air
- A. The water entrained by the circulating air
- B. Dependent on the water lost by evaporation
- C. Desirable
- D. All A., B. & C.
Explanation
Drift is the mechanical carryover of tiny liquid-water droplets with the air leaving a cooling tower. It is an undesirable water loss, unlike evaporation, which results from mass transfer of water vapour.
