A. Hajji et S. Khalloufi, THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A CONSTANT-PRESSURE ADSORPTION PROCESS, International journal of heat and mass transfer, 38(18), 1995, pp. 3349-3358
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of a const
ant pressure adsorption process. The governing heat and mass transfer
equations derived from local thermodynamic equilibrium and energy bala
nce are solved numerically. The model is validated by comparison with
experimental results. It is then used to analyze the effect of some op
erating and design parameters on a constant-pressure sorption process.
The adsorbent thickness and heat transfer coefficient between the ads
orbent and the heating/cooling fluid have the strongest influence on s
orption kinetics and on the cooling capacity of adsorption systems.
