Description
This dataset encompasses the findings from a study that developed a novel analytical model to explore heat and mass transfer processes in tubular direct evaporative heat and mass exchangers. The model, based on heat and mass conservation principles and the double film theory, provides a comprehensive analysis of mass and heat transfer, linking thermodynamic parameters to the system's geometric characteristics. The developed model was validated and used to examine the influence of various effective parameters on the cooling performance of the system. The dataset includes the results of the parametric study, which reveal that increasing tube length significantly boosts cooling and humidification by allowing more time for effective heat and mass transfer, though these benefits have limits and must be balanced with other design considerations for optimal efficiency. Furthermore, the dataset demonstrates that lower air velocities contribute to enhanced cooling performance, while higher inlet air humidity tends to diminish the system's effectiveness. These findings highlight the critical role of local climate conditions, particularly relative humidity, in the design and application of evaporative cooling systems.
