Abstract
The object of this paper is the theoretical study of the heat transfer in an adsorbent fixed-bed when the adsorption equilibrium is an irreversible one, the adsorption rate being limited by internal diffusion in particles. Then equations of the thermal wave put into a dimensionless form are proposed and discussed.It appears that the heat losses and the initial concentration of adsorbate in the fluid phase are important parameters for the heat transfer and that the thermal wave can grow before or behind the concentration front.
