A natural-draft cooling tower receives 250,000 ft3/min of air at standard atmospheric pressure, 70oF, and 45 percent relative hu
midity. The air leaves saturated at 100oF. 3500 gallons per minute of water at 104oF is cooled. Calculate
(a) the temperature of the water at the tower exit, and
(b) the necessary height of the tower if the total pressure losses are 2.00 lbf/ft2

Hello!
To solve this problem follow the steps below, the complete procedure is in the attached image
1. draw a complete outline of the problem
2. to find the temperature at the turbine exit use termodinamic tables to find the saturation temperature at 30kPa
note=Through laboratory tests, thermodynamic tables were developed, these allow to know all the thermodynamic properties of a substance (entropy, enthalpy, pressure, specific volume, internal energy etc ..)
through prior knowledge of two other properties such as pressure and temperature.
3. Using thermodynamic tables find the enthalpy and entropy at the turbine inlet, then find the ideal enthalpy using the entropy of state 1 and the outlet pressure = 30kPa
4. The efficiency of the turbine is defined as the ratio between the real power and the ideal power, with this we find the real enthalpy.
Note: Remember that for a turbine with a single input and output, the power is calculated as the product of the mass flow and the difference in enthalpies.
5. Find the real power of the turbine
