dc.description.abstract	This work was carried out in response to the need for a simple engineering method for the thermal analysis of direct-contact air-water heat exchangers. A simple method of performance analysis is developed which is directly analogous and consistent with the fundamental approach used in conventional heat exchanger analysis and one in which the algebraic form of the overall equation and the grouping of each of the parameters are apparent. The range of conditions considered are air and water temperatures of between 0 and 50 DC and barometric pressures ranging from 80 to 120 kPa. The air conditions considered range from completely dry to completely satucated with water vapour. Both air cooling and water cooling processes are considered. [Abbreviated abstract.
