Popis: A model has been presented for the establishment of thermal equilibrium in a mixture of a hot gas (nitrogen) and cold water droplets in a closed heat-insulated volume. The operability of the model has been confirmed by the coincidence of the calculated stationary temperatures of the gas and droplets and vapor density with the equilibrium values that follow from the laws of conservation of mass and energy for a gas–vapor–droplets mixture. Gas cooling in the course of heating and evaporation of the droplets has been numerically simulated. Approximation expressions have been obtained for the time of gas cooling in a preset temperature range as depending on the initial radius and mass fraction of the droplets. Nonevaporating spheres, the radius of which is equal to the initial radius of the droplets and the material has the density and specific heat of water, have been considered in the calculations along with the droplets. The values by which the gas temperature and the time of its cooling decrease due to evaporation have been determined.
