Kinetic Modeling of Isothermal or Non-isothermal Adsorption in a Pellet: Application to Adsorption Heat Pumps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Understanding the interaction between a fluid and a solid phase is of fundamental importance to the design of an adsorption process. Because the heat effects associated with adsorption are comparatively large, the assumption of isothermal behavior is a valid approximation only when uptake rates are relatively slow. In this article, we propose to determine when it is needed to choose the isothermal or non-isothermal assumption according to two physical parameters (ratio convection/capacity) and (quantity of energy/capacity). The proposed problem is solved by a mathematical method in the Laplace domain. When (infinitely high heat transfer coefficient) or 0 (infinitely large heat capacity), the limiting case is isothermal. When the diffusion is rapid ( <10) the kinetics of sorption is controlled entirely by heat transfer. If the adsorption process is to be used as a heat pump, it shall be represented by an isotherm model with and as high as possible.

متن کاملLow pressure adsorption of CO2 on multi-wall carbon nanotubes
Volumetric techniques were employed to study the adsorption of CO2 on a purified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT’s) sample, as a mesoporous material, at isothermal conditions of 288, 293 and 298 K and pressures ranging from 30 to 150 kPa. Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips equations were used to represent the isotherms. Also the parameters of these fitted isotherm models have been determined. The ...
