Summary

IN THIS INVESTIGATION, THE MASS TRANSFER COEFFICIENT WITH SIMULTANEOUS WATER AND AIR FLOW HAS BEEN DETERMINED EXPERIMENTALLY. IT HAS ALSO BEEN CALCULATED FROM THE CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT OF AIR BY APPLYING THE LEWIS RELATION FOR AN AIR-WATER MIXTURE. A NEW TERM < EVAPORATIVE EFFECTIVENESS > IS DEFINED AS THE RATIO OF ENERGY DISSIPATED IN EVAPORATIVE COOLING TO THAT IN SIMPLE WATER COOLING. ITS VARIATION IS STUDIED AND FOUND TO RANGE FROM 0.85 TO 1.78. CORRELATIONS FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ARE RECOMMENDED IN THE PAPER.
