To begin the analysis‚ the properties of the air at the base of the tower were examined. The wet and dry bulb temperatures of the air at the inlet were used to find the humidity‚ humid volume‚ and enthalpy of dry air. For example‚ in the first trial the dry bulb temperature was 22.5⁰C and the wet bulb was 16.5⁰C‚ and the properties found from the psychrometric chart are listed below. H_bottom=0.0095 kg/(kg dry air) V_bottom=0.85 m^3/(kg dry air) h_bottom=47 kg/(kg dry air) Then‚ the cross-sectional
