Abstract

Moisture transport is one of the major challenges in desiccant dehumidification. The transfer of moisture basically involves transfer of heat between moist air and desiccant particles as well as the mass transferal of moisture between moist air and desiccant particles. Type of desiccant dehumidification analysis is heating with dehumidification. Warmth move between sodden air and desiccants likewise gains consideration since temperature appropriation significantly influences the mass exchange execution through desiccant isotherms. The warmth and mass exchange between a clammy air stream and desiccant particles is dissected. Surface dissemination is noticed to overwhelm mass exchange within the silica gel particles. Here in this paper, we have compared the three diffusion coefficients Ordinary, Knudson and surface diffusion both for packed bed system and rotary desiccant system. Also, two models of move coefficients are introduced here and analyzed. Pseudo gas side controlled model usages an observational gas side mass exchange coefficient to represent dissemination opposition on strong side. Solid side resistance model settles the dissemination condition and is the finest exact as far as move coefficients. Notwithstanding, it makes examination considerably more clear.
