Heat load in a cooling tower______________________?
Correct answer: C. Both A. & B.
- A. Means the amount of heat thrown away (KCal/hr.) by the cooling tower
- B. Is equal to the number of kg, of water circulated times the cooling range
- C. Both A. & B.
- D. Neither A. nor B.
Explanation
Cooling-tower heat load is the heat rejected per hour, and for water it is calculated approximately as mass flow rate multiplied by the cooling range because water's specific heat is about 1 kcal/kg·°C. Thus both statements describe the heat load.
