Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of a constant pressure adsorption process. The governing heat and mass transfer equations derived from local thermodynamic equilibrium and energy balance are solved numerically. The model is validated by comparison with experimental results. It is then used to analyze the effect of some operating and design parameters on a constant-pressure sorption process. The adsorbent thickness and heat transfer coefficient between the adsorbent and the heating/cooling fluid have the strongest influence on sorption kinetics and on the cooling capacity of adsorption systems.
