Breakthrough time in an adsorption unit

Input(s)

x\mathrm{x}: Height of Unit (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

ρb\rho_{\mathrm{b}}: Bulk Density of Desicant (lb/ft3)\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)

hb\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{b}}: Bed Length of Unit ( ft\mathrm{ft} )

q: Water Loading (lb/ft2 h)\left(\mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{2} \mathrm{~h}\right)

Output(s)

Θ\Theta: Breakthrough Time (h)

Formula(s)

Θ=0.01xρb hbq\Theta=\frac{0.01 * \mathrm{x} * \rho_{\mathrm{b}} * \mathrm{~h}_{\mathrm{b}}}{\mathrm{q}}
