What is Quantitative Investigation of the Evaporation and Resistance Characteristics of Inlet Jet Precooling about?

## Abstract A quantitative study is carried out to explore the air/mist-coupled cooling in the cooling section incorporating a spray device, aiming to conduct a comparative simulation on the effects of two radial spray arrangements (Apparatus A and Apparatus B) on the change of flow field. The results show that an even spray arrangement leads to improved flow performance owing to the large temperature drop in the cooling section. Compared with Apparatus A, Apparatus B enables a 1.60–2.25% higher temperature drop coefficient and a 1.1–3.0% higher water evaporation rate. Six high-altitude conditions are simulated to find that the spray device and water injection are the main factors causing flow loss, whereas the additional mass flow caused by water vapor reduces the amount of loss. The highest temperature drop coefficient is observed for Case 6 (27.3%), in which there is a more uniform nozzle arrangement. A slight difference in terms of total pressure drop coefficient between Apparatus A and Apparatus B is observed. Moreover, the highest total pressure drop coefficient (5.8%) at the location of the spray system is observed for Case 6, which has the largest injection rate and highest
