Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A mathematical model of evaporative cooling of water films flowing down vertical guards in a chimney-type water-cooling tower is developed. Results of a qualitative analysis of the nonlinear mathematical model are reported. Data obtained from a numerical solution of a boundary-value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations are presented in the form of graphs.
