Description

Gas-Solid Adsorption Thermodynamics tackles the underexplored role of thermodynamics in the energetics of gas-solid physical adsorption, examining and outlining their role in different adsorption-based heat transformation energy applications. The book deals with different adsorbate/adsorbent pairs from the rigor of adsorption thermodynamics and their utilization in various applications, providing a comprehensive overview of adsorption heat transformations from the perspective of adsorption thermodynamics. Chapters introduce diverse sorption applications using various adsorbent/adsorbate combinations and their thermodynamic characterizations.

Finally, users will find comprehensive information on how adsorption thermodynamics affects system performances from an energetic standpoint given that thermodynamics are strongly related to the energetics of adsorption systems. Different chapters introduce the brief background of utilizing the gas-solid adsorption phenomenon in multifarious energy applications such as thermal management, desalination, volatile organic compound removal, etc.

Key features

  • Provides a fundamental understanding of adsorption thermodynamics, an historically underexplored, poorly summarized topic
  • Gives a thermodynamic understanding of different adsorbate/adsorbent pairs
  • Demonstrates the effects of adsorption thermodynamics on the energy efficiency of various adsorption heat transformation applications

Readership

Graduate students (both Ph.D. and Masters), postdoc researchers and scientists in physical and materials chemistry, chemical engineering, energy, and mechanical engineering who are working on adsorption-based heat transformation applications, including sorption-assisted heat pumps, chillers, desiccators, and desalination systems. This book may also constitute a useful reference for personnel working in research and development sections in related industry. Along with those at graduate level, the book may find some interest among advanced undergraduate students taking courses on heat and mass transfers and thermodynamics.
