    This document contains calculations related to cooling tower performance. It provides enthalpy values for air at different temperatures as it passes through a cooling tower. It also includes equations that relate the change in air enthalpy to the temperature change of water and defines tower characteristics like the ratio of heat transfer coefficient to mass flow rate.

    h air exit = ha(TWB) + L/G*Cpw*(hair exit -hair TWB)
    T1 = Tw2 +0.1*Range h1 = haTWB + 0.1*(hair exit -hairTWB)
    T2 = Tw2 +0.4*Range h2 = haTWB + 0.4*(hair exit -hairTWB)
    T3 = Tw2 +0.6*Range h3 = haTWB + 0.6*(hair exit -hairTWB)
    T4 = Tw2 +0.9*Range h4 = haTWB + 0.9*(hair exit -hairTWB)

    hs is enthalpy of air at the water temperature.

    increase in enthalpy of air Dh = L/G * Cpw* (DTw)


    1.25 *4.187*20 = 104.65 kJ/kg

    KaV/L = Tower characteristic

    TC is tower characteristic of KaV/L
