“…However, the magnitude of the change is very small. This suggests that the variations of internal heat transfer coefficient has little effect on the heat transfer which is confirmed in the paper by Tang [30] . As for certain activated carbon, the adsorption amounts of water vapor is fixed, which indicated that the total heat releases in the adsorption process is constant.…”

The changes of internal heat transfer coefficient will only strengthen internal heat transfer rate and not affect the total heat release.…”

In order to investigate the dynamic process of the heat and mass transfer phenomenon of water vapor on activated carbon, a fixed‐column adsorption unit and two kinds of activated carbon were used as adsorbent for water vapor adsorption under the adsorption temperature 293.15 K, 303.15 K and 313.15 K, respectively. A coupled model was developed by mass and energy balance, mass transfer and simplified DO adsorption equilibrium equation. The effects of physical parameters on heat and mass transfer were theoretically investigated. Results show that the numerical model match well with the experimental data (R2>0.993). The axial diffusion coefficient (DL) increases from 1.226×10−6 m2 s−1 to 4.062×10−6 m2 s−1 for RAC and 1.425×10−6 m2 s−1 to 4.030×10−6 m2 s−1 for MAC, mass transfer coefficient (k) increases from 8.171 s−1 to 27.083 s−1 for RAC and 9.499 s−1 to 26.864 s−1 for MAC. Concurrently, the breakthrough time of adsorption water vapor gradually shorten from 1000 s to 780 s with temperature increasing from 293.15 K to 313.15 K. The effect of axial diffusion coefficient (DL) on mass transfer is not obvious. Furthermore, the influence of the mass transfer coefficient (k) on temperature variation rate surpasses that of the internal heat transfer coefficient (h).
