The term "approach" in a cooling tower refers to the difference in the temperature of the____________________?
Correct answer: A. Cold water leaving the tower and the wet bulb temperature of the surrounding air
- A. Cold water leaving the tower and the wet bulb temperature of the surrounding air
- B. Hot water entering the tower and the wet bulb temperature of the surrounding air
- C. Hot water entering and the cooled water leaving the cooling tower
- D. None of these
Explanation
Cooling-tower approach is the temperature difference between the cooled water leaving the tower and the entering air wet-bulb temperature. A smaller approach indicates closer approach to the thermodynamic limit of evaporative cooling.
