Summary

Thermochemical phenomena occurring during the reaction between a gas and solid porous media (thermochemical materials) have been modelled. The practical application envisaged is the use of these thermochemical materials in chemical heat pumps to produce both heat and cold. Typical results included conversions, power generated as a function of reactor diameter and time-on-stream, required heat exchange area, and heat losses.
