Hi Guys

I’m wanting to understand how much water is required to to be atomised into the coolant diffuser to lower the mass of air by say 10C.
I’m interested in this for the couples of minutes of high energy input into the coolant and oil while the airspeed is low on taxi/takeoff.

Is there anyone clear at their fingertips the physics/eng calculation required?

I expect it must involve energy required to vaporise water - 540 cal/gram
OAT, Humidity, mass of air/min.

Thanks.
