Answer / zaipracas

cooling towers works on evaporation of water, but heat exchanger works on the conduction and convection both.

Answer / abul hasan

In Heat Exchenger only heat trnsfer take place,where in
cooling tower both heat transfer as well as mass transfre
take place

Answer / rosh

THERE IS DIRECT CONTACT BETWEEN TWO FLUIDS IN COOLING TOWERS, BUT IN HEAT EXCHANGERS IT IS NOT NEEDED.

Answer / kirankumarrds

1.In cooling towers there is a direct contact b/w the fluids
is there,where as in HE it is not
2.In cooling towers both ht and mt takes place,ht is taking
place from upcoming vapors to falling fluid,mt is takes
place from falling fluid to vapor.In HE only ht is takes place

Answer / chetan gice

In colling tower both mt&ht takes place but in heat exchanger only ht takes place why because there is indirect contact between both where as cooling tower both are in direct contact

Answer / ss

both r wrking on the same principle only a bit differn is
cooling water tower evoporate the water up to th ewet bulb
temprtuer of atm air,i.e its depend on the atm air
condition,but in case of typical heat exchnger the heat
transfer is not depend on atm air wbt they only depen on the
two fluids amngs the heat transfer tkes place

Answer / diipk

basi difference of latent heat CT water gives latent heat to air but in HE latent heat taken from external source ie hot water/brine etc

Answer / govind murali

Cooling Tower is a kind of heat exchanger. The difference lies in the method of energy transfer. Cooling tower may also be considered as a Mass Transfer device because the cooling of water takes place because due to the evaporation of water caused by air. In a normal heat exchanger, only energy transfer takes place, but in a cooling tower both energy and mass transfer takes place.

Answer / kumar phanishwar

there are two types of heat exchangers based on the type of
interaction between fluid:
1. Direct Contact
2. Indirect Contact

Shell & Tube as well as plate type heat exchangers are
indirect contact heat exchangers as heat transfer is through
the surface separating two fluids.

Cooling tower in a direct contact heat exchanger.
In this type of heat exchanger fluids mix with each other
and transfer heat as well as mass.

Answer / shahbaz

In heat exchanger there is heat transfer from hot fluid to cold fluid and make steam and in colig tower heat is removed by faling hot water frm hight and it gets cold .

CHEMICAL ENERGY BALANCE - EXAMPLE 11.2 : Calculate the cooling duty, H required to condense and cool acetone from 100 degree Celsius to 25 degree Celsius at atmospheric pressure. The heat of vaporization for acetone at its normal boiling point is 30.2 kJ / mol. The boiling point of acetone at atmospheric pressure is 56 degree Celsius. The flowrate of acetone through the condenser is 100 mol / s = N. Value of sensible heat needed to increase the temperature of acetone in liquid form from 25 to 56 degree Celsius is 4.06 kJ / mol. Value of sensible heat needed to increase the temperature of acetone in vapor form from 56 to 100 degree Celsius is 3.82 kJ / mol. Unit of H is kJ / s.

Question 104 - In photoelectrical effect analysis of quantum chemistry, let E = kinetic energy of electron, p = intensity of UV light, f = frequency of UV light. According to Classical Theory, E = c for all values of f, E = mp. According to Quantum Theory, E = c for all values of p, E = mf + c. In a graph, m and c are constants where m is slope and c is y intercept. If m = 2 and c = 3 with similar value of E : (a) find the value of p according to Classical Theory; (b) find the value of f according to Quantum Theory.

Question 66 – The drag coefficient Cd = 0.05 and lift coefficient Cl = 0.4 for a levelled flow aircraft are measured. The velocity of the aircraft is v = 150 ft / s with its weight W = 2677.5 pound-force. (a) Find the value of the lift of the aircraft, L, when it is also its weight. (b) The drag of the aircraft, D = Cd M, L = Cl M. Find the value of D. (c) The power required is P = Dv. If 1 pound-force x (ft / s) = 1.356 W, find the value of P in the unit of Watt or W.

Question 90 - In the calculation of the growth of bacteria, absorbance, A in spectrophotometry is used. According to Beer-Lambert Law, A = e x l x c where A is the absorbance of the solution (no unit), l is the distance of light travels through the solution (in cm), e is the molar absorptivity or the molar extinction coefficient [ in L / (mol.cm) ]. For a particular solute and fixed path length : As / Ao = Cs / Co where Ao is the observed signal for a known concentration Co, and As is the observed signal for a sample concentration Cs. (a) For a cell concentration of 560 cells / mL, a spectrophotometre gives an absorbance reading of 1.0. A mixture of concentration 3600000 cells / mL can be diluted in several operations, with each operation having a dilution of 1:20. How many dilutions should be made so that the concentration of this mixture can be calculated within a range of A = 0.0 to 1.0. (b) In another experiment, a sample tube of 1 cm in width is used. Let A = 0.06 and e = 0.0012 ml / (cell.cm). Find the cell concentration of the sample.
