Experimental study of spray cooling system with wet compression has been carried out on a small hot wind tunnel. A mathematical model is established for liquid droplets evaporization and a 3D calculation bound on the model have been carried out. The results are in good accord with the experimental data. This paper will be good reference for spray system design for a wet compression system. And the detail information of the experiment and numerical computation take us further understanding of the real wet compression process.
