Abstract
Modeling of heat and mass transfer processes in a horizontal channel during evaporative cooling of a moist air flow with regard to the finite thickness of the liquid film is considered. The mathematical model consists of a system of differential equations in the boundary layer approximation. The simulation results have been obtained in a wide range of initial parameters: temperature T
0 = 10÷50°C, humidity φ0=0÷100%, Reynolds number Re=100÷2000. Calculations were carried out at atmospheric pressure. Quantitative analysis of influence of initial parameters of flows on values of parameters of wet air flow at the outlet of the channel with and without taking into account the final thickness of the water film was carried out.
