Evaporative Cooling

Evaporative cooling is vital for life and industry. Benefiting from this essential process is as natural as sweating. It's the most efficient means of rejecting unwanted heat. The economy of evaporative cooling has made it the first choice of manufacturing and power production. There is rarely time to adequately address this important topic in a course on heat transfer. Many articles and books present the mechanical and even economic aspects of evaporative cooling. This book presents the computational (i.e., mathematical) aspects. All of the software discussed in this book is available free on-line, including considerable source code.
