Evaporation rate :
𝐸𝑣𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑔𝑝�)=𝐹𝑙𝑜𝑤 (𝑔𝑝�) ×𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 (𝐹^𝑜)×0.001

Evaporation rate = 750 x 10.0 x 0.001

Evaporation rate = 7.5 gpm 0.5 L/s

Blow down rate :

𝐵𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑔𝑝�)=(𝐸𝑣𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑔𝑝�)) /

(𝑁𝑢�𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 −1)

Blow down rate = 7.5

2.2 - 1

Blow down rate = 6.2 gpm 0.4 L/s

Total amount of make-up water

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 �𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑢𝑝 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟=𝐸𝑣𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛+𝐵𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛

Total make-up = 0.5 + 0.4

Total make-up = 0.9 L/s
