Type of article: Article

Summary

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL DESCRIBING THE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER PROCESSES THAT OCCUR DURING SORPTION OF WATER VAPOUR IN A DEHUMIDIFIER CONSISTING OF PARALLEL CHANNELS LINED ON EITHER SIDE WITH DESICCANT FELT, IS PRESENTED. THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT IN THE DESICCANT IS EXPRESSED BY CONSIDERING BOTH GAS PHASE DIFFUSION AND SURFACE DIFFUSION. THE HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN THE DESICCANT MATRIX OCCURS SIMULTANEOUSLY AND IS COUPLED BY AN EQUILIBRIUM SORPTION RELATION WHICH IS APPLIED LOCALLY WITHIN THE DESICCANT.
