A simplified numerical model to study the simultaneous heat and mass transfer in a dehumidifier

Consulta en la Biblioteca ETSI Industriales (Riunet)[EN] In the context of the project ENORM [46], an isothermal dehumidifier with a falling film configuration has been studied. For that purpose a theoretical numerical model for simultaneous heat and mass transfer inside the dehumidifier has been developed. The model is used to predict the behavior of the dehumidification process and to obtain the main parameters that influence the mass and heat transfer. The results are compared with a model of other author and in the future with the experimental results obtained in the prototype at the Department of Energy Conversion Engineering at the TU Berlin.Jimenez Paton, JE.
