| dc.description.abstract | A cooling tower is a device used to lower the temperature of a water stream by rejecting waste
heat to atmosphere. It is also known as a heat rejection device where it will lower the temperature
by extracting waste heat to the atmosphere though the cooling of a water stream. Generally, the
cooling tower may use the evaporation process of water to remove waste heat to atmosphere thus
it will lower the working fluid to near the wet-bulb air temperature.
Commonly cooling tower is widely used in the process industry for employing water by using re
circulated cooling water systems. The cost for this process is inexpensive and very dependable on
removing low grade heat from process. In this experiment, the objective are to determine the
correlation of water to air mass flow ratio with the increasing water flow rate and to determine the
cooling load effect, the effect of different flow rates on the wet bulb approach.
Besides that, this experiment also carried out to estimate the evaporation rate of water from the
tower. This experiment was carried by using three variable that are heating load, blower damper
and water flow rate. The manipulated variable for this experiment are heating load and blower
damper opening while the constant variable is the water flow rate
