    Comparison of Uniform and Non-Uniform Pressure Approaches Used To Analyze an Adsorption Process in a Closed Type Adsorbent Bed
    (Springer Verlag, 2013) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, Semra
    Heat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed filled with silica gel particles is numerically analyzed by uniform and non-uniform pressure approaches. The study is performed for silica gel-water pair, particle radius from 0.025 to 1 mm and two bed radii of 10 and 40 mm. For uniform pressure approach, the energy equation for the bed and the mass transfer equation for the particle are solved. For non-uniform pressure approach, the continuity and Darcy equations due to the motion of water vapor in the bed are added, and four coupled partial differential equations are solved. The changes of the adsorbate concentration, pressure, and temperature in the bed throughout the adsorption process for both approaches are obtained and compared. The obtained results showed that the particle size plays an important role on the validity of uniform pressure approach. Due to the interparticle mass transfer resistance, there is a considerable difference between the results of the uniform pressure and non-uniform pressure approaches for the beds with small size of particles such as 0.025 mm.

    Modeling of Hemodialysis Operation
    (Springer Verlag, 2010) Abacı, Hasan Erbil; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide
    In this study, a theoretical model was developed to predict the solute concentrations in patients' blood and optimize the efficiency of the hemodialysis operation. The model takes into account simultaneous mass and momentum transfer on the blood side both in radial and axial directions. A key component of the model is the incorporation of the protein adsorption on the inner surface of the membrane. The validity of the model was confirmed with the experimental data available in the literature for two different types of hemodiafilter. To illustrate the importance of including the radial concentration gradients and protein adsorption kinetics in the model, the experimental data were predicted with and without consideration of these effects. The results have shown that assuming uniform concentration in the radial direction or neglecting protein adsorption on the inner surface of the membrane leads to higher error in predicting the experimental data. In addition, significant error can be introduced in the calculation of the dialysis time if protein adsorption is not considered. © 2010 Biomedical Engineering Society.
