Output
Results from function CoolingTowerHeight 7.037751 m = z, the tower height. 3.827783 m = Hg, the height of a gas enthalpy transfer unit. 1.838597 = Ng, the number of gas enthalpy transfer units. 29.4 degree C = TL1, the effluent liquid temperature. 73.57596 kJ/kg-dry air = Hy1, the inlet gas enthalpy. 29.4 degree C = TG1, the inlet gas dry bulb temperature. 0.01705 kg-vapor/kg-dry air = Y1, the inlet gas stream humidity. 43.3 degree C = TL2, the inlet liquid temperature. 135.6298 kJ/kg-dry air = Hy2, the effluent gas enthalpy. 33.94386 degree C = TG2, the effluent gas dry bulb temperature. 0.03876 kg-vapor/kg-dry air = Y2, the effluent gas stream humidity. 14.83458 kJ/(K*s*m^3) = hLa, the liquid film heat transfer coefficient at tower bottom conditions. 0.01223 kmol/m^3/s = ky'a, the dilute gas film mass transfer coefficient at gas inlet conditions. 1.356 kg/m^2/s = L1, the liquid mass flow velocity at outlet (tower bottom). 1.385439 kg/m^2/s = L2, the liquid mass flow velocity at inlet (tower top). 1.356 kg/m^2/s = G, the dry air mass flow velocity. 1 atm = Pt, the operating pressure. **** Mass transfer coefficient ky'a has been assumed to be proportional to v^0.65
