Type of article: Article

Summary

THE PAPER PROVIDES RELATIONSHIPS TO DESCRIBE THE SORPTION EQUILIBRIA OF THE AIR-WATER VAPOUR-LITHIUM CHLORIDE SYSTEM. ROTARY HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGERS ARE DESCRIBED BY 2 CONSERVATION LAWS AND 2 TRANSFER EQUATIONS. THEY FORM A SYSTEM OF 2 COUPLED NON-LINEAR HYPERBOLIC PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND 2 ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. A MODIFIED METHOD BASED ON THE FINITE DIFFERENCE MODEL BY MACLAINE-CROSS IS PRESENTED. THIS METHOD PREDICTS THE OUTLET CONDITIONS OF THE AIR STREAMS AND DETERMINES TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE CONTENT PROFILES OF THE MATRIX. A DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPLEX PHYSICAL BEHAVIOUR OF ROTARY DEHUMIDIFIERS USING LITHIUM CHLORIDE IS PRESENTED.
