Abstract: Adsorption cooling attracts large attention because it uses waste heat, non - CFC refrigerants, and has no moving parts. The traditional heat and mass transfer model for the adsorbent bed does not take into account the internal mass transfer resistance inside an adsorbent particle. Therefore, the mass transfer mechanism in the bed can not be expressed accurately. In this work, the mathematical model for the heat and mass transfers in the adsorbent of a waste heat adsorption cooling system is developed , by taking into account both the internal and the external resistance. The model includes four parts: heat transfers in heating/cooling fluids, heat transfers in the metal tube, heat transfers in the fins, and heat and mass transfers in the adsorbent. The model for the heat and mass transfers in the adsorbent is a three-dimensional non - equilibrium model that takes into account both the internal and the external mass transfer resistance in the adsorbent. In the analysis, the Darcy s law is used to express the external mass transfer, while an empirical adsorption rate equation is used to analyze the internal mass diffusion . The model is solved with QUDS (quadratic upstream differencing scheme) and ADI (alternating direction implicit) methods, In the end, an experiment is done to validate the model.
