Experimental investigation into the integration of solid desiccant packed beds with oscillating heat pipes for energy efficient isothermal adsorption processes (2020)
Journal Article
Yeboah, S. K., & Darkwa, J. (2021). Experimental investigation into the integration of solid desiccant packed beds with oscillating heat pipes for energy efficient isothermal adsorption processes. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, 21, Article 100791. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsep.2020.100791

The heat of adsorption released during physical adsorption of water vapour on solid desiccants increases its surface vapour pressure consequently decreasing its adsorption capacity. In packed beds, this raises the bed temperature subsequently increas...
