Assuming they are the same temperature.

The crushed ice will cool your drink faster.

Heat can only transfer via the surface of the ice, and crushed ice has alot more surface area than the ice cube.

As long as the temperature of the liquid is warmer than the surrounding air temperature, yes.

Even if the temperature of the liquid is the same as the surrounding air, the ice cube may still melt faster, because liquids are better conductors of heat than air is. But different solid surfaces have different thermal conductivities, so unless your ice cube is suspended in air, you're not comparing a liquid and air; you're comparing a liquid and a solid surface. An ice cube on a sheet of metal at room temperature might be found to melt faster than an ice cube in a drink at room temperature, while an ice cube sitting on a piece of styrofoam might melt much slower.

I'd say try it.

Yes. Crushing it will increase the surface area by a huge amount, which means the ambient temperature will affect it far more

  • I would say crushed because it goes deeper that cubed

If wet bulb temperature is 35 and outlet water temperature from cooling tower is 25 then the cooling tower approach will be effective and what is the solution?

The Approach is the difference between wet bulb temperature and outlet water temperature from cooling tower. That means , in this case, Approach = 35-25=10 degrees.

Which equations should I use in order to calculate if water is effective in cooling in electrodes with internal water cooling?

There are moderately complicated equations to do that, but in the real world, experimentation would be the only real proof of any design. From the phrasing of the question, you appear not to appreciate that the water would have to circulate - filling anything with water will not cool it.
