    The document describes the apparatus and method used to study a cooling tower. The apparatus included a sling psychrometer to measure wet-and dry-bulb temperatures, an anemometer to measure air velocity, a steam heater to heat inlet water, and temperature probes and a rotameter to measure water temperatures and flow rates. The method involved taking experimental runs with combinations of high or low water flow rates and inlet water temperatures, as defined in a table.

    Materials and Methods Apparatus Sling psychrometer Anemometer used to measure wet-and dry-bulb temperature (oC) used to measure

    easure air velocity at different points (m/s)

    Steam operated heater used to heat the inlet water The cooling tower water inlet and outlet lines are outfitted with temperature probes from which the water stream temperatures were read (oC) The rotameter was used to set inlet water flow rate (l/h)

    Method The method in the lab manual was used with the following addendums: The runs were taken as follows :
    Table 1: Operation of the experimental runs

    Water inlet Flowrate Run 1 High Run 2 Low Run 3 High Run 4 Low Where: Low flowrate = 700 l/h High flowrate Low temperature High temperature = 5000 l/h 35.8 oC 40.0 oC

    Water inlet Temperature Low Low High High
