Thermodynamic and mathematical analysis of modified Luikov's equations for simultaneous heat and mass transfer

Modelling post-frying oil absorption, water loss, and cooling of potato cylinders

“…As it occurs with other heat and mass transfer operations, mass equilibrium may exhibit a dependence on temperature and composition of the involved phases. However, as partition coefficients only provide an approximation of the real equilibrium behaviour within a limited range of the process variables, different coefficients could be needed when multiple experimental conditions are involved (Vargas-González et al, 2021). Therefore, a separated value of 𝐾 was estimated at each air temperature, as also performed by Debnath et al (2009), resulting in ten estimated parameters (𝑘 𝑚0 , 𝐸, ℎ, 𝑘 0 , plus one 𝐾 value for each of the six tested temperatures).…”

Analytical and hybrid-neuro-differential approaches for describing contaminant removal from aqueous systems

“…SLI models have been used in detailed numerical solutions of solid-gas adsorption (Thorpe, 2022) and extraction operations (Castillo-Santos et al, 2010;Promraksa et al, 2020). In addition, they have been also proven useful for obtaining analytical solutions describing the simultaneous heat and mass transfer between a moist solid and air during convective drying (Vargas-González et al, 2021). An expression to evaluate C i can be obtained by combining Eqs.…”

“…The description of mass equilibrium and adsorption kinetics can be improved by considering that the sorption isotherm can be approximated by a series of connected straight-line segments. This approach has been previously used to approximate the complex behavior of water sorption isotherm in drying models (Vargas-González et al, 2021). For two segments, the following piecewise linear model is obtained…”
