Heat and mass transfer in a non-isothermal fixed bed solid adsorbent reactor: a uniform pressure-non-uniform temperature case
TL;DR: In this article, a uniform pressure model is presented to describe the heat and mass transfer in a fixed bed of solid adsorbent in a finned reactor, which takes into account the resistances to heat diffusion through two coefficients: the heat conductivity of the adorbent bed and the heat transfer coefficient between the adsorbents and the fins.
