Liquid water at 100°F and 200 gal/min volumetric flow rate enters a cooling tower operating at steady state. Atmospheric air enters with a dry-bulb temperature of 80°F and a wet-bulb temperature of 60°F. Moist air exits the cooling tower at 90° and 90% relative humidity. Makeup water is provided at 80°F. Calculate the mass flow rates of the dry air and makeup water, each in lb/min, versus return water temperature at 80, 90, and 100°F. Ignore kinetic and potential energy changes.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
