Numerical simulation of a desiccant bed for solar air conditioning applications.

Author(s) : FAROOQ S., RUTHVEN D. M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors consider an idealized system involving the adiabatic adsorption/desorption of a trace component (moisture) with a nonlinear (Langmuir) equilibrium isotherm. The mathematical model includes finite resistance to mass transfer, axial dispersion of mass, and axial conduction of heat. The numerical simulation is used to study the effect of the more important operating variables on system performance.
