What is Evaporative Cooling

Chapter 9
Process Analysis, Design, and Intensification in Microfluidics and Chemical Engineering
A heat and mass transfer process for cooling purpose based on evaporation phenomenon. A liquid absorbs sensible heat from an airflow and dissipates this later by the latent heat transfer necessary to the phase change (evaporation).

Abstract
This chapter presents a numerical investigation of heat and mass transfer characteristics during the evaporation of liquid films in vertical geometries. A two-phase model is developed to simulate laminar film evaporation into laminar gas flow. The liquid film evaporation is evaluated under adiabatic and heated wall conditions for both pure and binary liquid film. The model is based on a finite difference method to solve the governing equations of the two phases. The obtained results concerns two industrial processes. The first part of the chapter is devoted to the analysis of the thermal protection of vertical channel wall, while the second part is devoted to the desalination process by falling liquid film. The simulations results allowed the determination of the optimal operating conditions for both processes.
