An analysis of a nonisothermal one-component sorption in a single adsorbent particle

Heat and mass balances describing the process of a nonisothermal sorption within an adsorbent particle are formulated. Application to gas—solid adsor The governing equations represent a set of coupled strongly nonlinear parabolic equations. A finite-difference method based on explicit—implicit proc The equations are solved for a case of a strong adsorption accompanied with significant heat generation effects for molecular and Knudsen diffusion. It temperature differences may be of the order of magnitude 10–50°C.
