An atmospheric cooling tower is to provide cooling for the jacket water of a 4-stroke, 1000
kW diesel generator set. The cooling tower efficiency is 60% at a temperature approach of 10 C.
If ambient air has a dry bulb temperature of 32 C, 70% RH, determine the cooling water
supplied to the diesel engine in liters/hr. The generator efficiency is about 98%.

5. Water at 60 C is cooled in a tower which has an efficiency of 65%. The temperature of the
surrounding air is 32 C, 70% RH. The heat dissipated from the condenser is 3,000,000 kJ/hr. Find
