Study of a fogging system using a computational fluid dynamics simulation

Therefore, it was possible to conclude that the results obtained in the simulation were close to those reported experimentally with differences from 3 to 6%. Based on the profiles and contour graphs obtained, it was also found that the best mass and energy transfer occurs when an atomizing diameter of 20 µm is used with the lowest relative humidity possible. Working with this humidity and droplet diameter, it is possible to avoid water runoff on duct walls.
