Q

Make up water requirement using mass balance

A
  1. mw3 - mw4 = ma (w2-w1)
  2. mw5 = mw3 - mw1
  3. mw5 = ma (w2-w1)

Q

Energy balance

A
  1. mw3h3 + mah1 + m5h5 = mw4h4 + mah2
  2. mw3 + mah1 + mw5t5 = mw4cpwt4 + mah2

Q

Heat Balance

A

Heat absorbed by air = heat rejected by water
ma (h2 - h1) = mw3 Cp (t3-t4)

Water evaporated
mw3 - mw4 = ma (w2 - w1)
