We prove an estimation of the Kolmogorov $\varepsilon$-entropy in $H$ of the unitary ball in the space $V$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space and $V$ is a Sobolev-like subspace of $H$. Then, by means of Zelik's result [7], an estimate of the fractal dimension of the attractors of some nonlinear parabolic equations is established.
