One-Dimensional Distributed Parameter Modeling of Evaporative Cooling Facades

Heat waves impose health risks for the population. Evaporative cooling facades (ECF) can reduce the additional risks resulting from excessive heating of cities known as the heat island effect utilizing evaporation cooling. As a basis for effective use and development of short-term operation strategies for these facades, this paper elaborates a system of partial differential equations to model the dynamics of ECF. The system equations are based on the transport equation and derived utilizing energy balances. Qualitative feasibility of the phenomenological model is demonstrated.
