Abstract: Simplified and realistic simulation models are of great relevance for industrial development of components and systems. The simplified approaches based on the pseudo-gas-side-controlled model and on the linear driving force model are investigated in the simulation of the mass transfer phenomena between the airflow and the channel wall of a solid desiccant matrix. The differences between the two approaches lie in the mass transfer coefficient and potential that are considered in the conceptual equation.
