| Summary: | The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the area of porous media and adsorption cooling system is becoming more practical due to the significant improvement in computer power. The results from previous studies have shown that CFD can be useful tool for predicting the water vapour flow pattern, temperature, heat transfer, flow velocity, and adsorption rate. This paper investigates the effect of silica gel granular size on the water adsorption rate using computational fluid dynamics. |
