The results of verification of the module for sodium aerosol behavior in moist air in an enclosure on experiments performed using the ATF facility (India) are reported. The computational results for the average diameter of aerosols suspended in air with different moisture content and initial mass concentration were compared with the experimental data. The sensitivity of the computational results to the uncertainty in setting the initial experimental data and parameters of the model is analyzed. The average relative error of the calculation of the average aerosol diameter was 19%.
