Heat and Mass Transfer in Evaporative Cooling of Water Films on Two Vertical Plates
Краткое описание
A mathematical model of evaporative cooling of water films on vertical plates is developed. The model is a boundary-value problem for a system of four ordinary nonlinear differential equations. Using the model, we performed calculations and compared them with the data obtained on a commercial cooling tower. It is established that at small and average densities of irrigation the model allows one to adequately describe the parameters of vapor–air mixture above the plates and the temperature of the water cooled. The comparison of experimental and calculated data also shows that at a nominal hydraulic load the contribution of film currents is not less than 50% in a cooling tower.
