Evaporative cooling of water in complex-configuration film spray zones

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Evaporative cooling of water in film flows in a double-corrugation spray zone is investigated. It is shown that the main contribution to the increase in the efficiency of evaporative cooling in such spray zones is made by artificial turbulization of air flow on the corrugations of the guards. For a sprinkler with guards of arbitrary configuration a method of engineering calculation of the efficiency of evaporative cooling is suggested.
