Moisture Transport in Silica Gel Packed Beds: II. Experimental Study

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

Experiments have been performed to obtain the transient response of a thin adiabatic packed bed of silica gel after a step change in inlet air conditions, comparisons are made with predictions using a solid-side resistance model and a pseudo-gas-side controlled model and better agreement obtained with the former model.
