The term "cooling range" in a cooling tower refers to the difference in the temperature of____________________?
Correct answer: C. Hot water entering the tower and the cooled water leaving the tower
- 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 the tower and the cooled water leaving the tower
- D. None of these
Explanation
Cooling-tower range is the temperature drop of the circulating water, calculated as hot-water inlet temperature minus cooled-water outlet temperature. The wet-bulb temperature is used for the approach, not the range.
