Bed length of adsorption unit
Input(s)
x: Maximum Desiccant Useful Capacity (kg water/100 kg desiccant)
\(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{s}}\): Dynamic Capacity at Saturation ( \(\mathrm{kg}\) water \(/ 100 \mathrm{~kg}\) desiccant)
\(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{z}}\): MTZ Length \((\mathrm{ft})\)
Output(s)
\(h_{b}\): Bed Length \((\mathrm{ft})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{0.45 * \mathrm{~h}_{\mathrm{z}} * \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{s}}-\mathrm{x}}
\]
