Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of adsorbent adsorption exothermic simulation, and in particular to a method for simulating adsorption exothermic release of an activated carbon fiber adsorbent based on multi-physical field coupling. Background Art
[0002] Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is an efficient adsorption material. It is widely used in air purification, waste gas treatment and energy storage due to its extremely high specific surface area and developed microporous structure. During the adsorption process, ACF captures adsorbate molecules through physical or chemical effects. However, this adsorption process is usually accompanied by significant heat release. If the heat release is not effectively controlled in time, the surface temperature of the adsorbent will rise rapidly, resulting in a decrease in adsorption capacity and even damage to the structural integrity of the material, reducing its service life. Therefore, in-depth research and simulation analysis of the ACF adsorption heat release process is of extremely important practical significance.
[0003] Multi-physics coupling simulation technology provides a powerful tool for this complex process. Traditional single physical field models cannot fully reveal the multiple interactions in the adsorption process, while multi-physics coupling can simultaneously consider multiple physical phenomena, such as fluid flow, heat conduction, material diffusion, phase change and other processes, so as to make more accurate predictions and optimizations for the entire system. By building a coupling model, the heat accumulation and transfer accompanying the adsorption process and its impact on material properties can be studied.
[0004] In addition, the coupled simulation method can simulate the system behavior under different working conditions, including changes in external conditions such as temperature, pressure, flow rate and concentration, so as to optimize the design and operation process of the ACF adsorbent. For example, as the adsorption proceeds, the local temperature change of the ACF will affect the regeneration efficiency of the adsorbent and the transfer of the adsorption equilibrium. Through multi-physics field coupling simulation, the interaction of different physical fields can be clarified, providing a more reasonable basis for the control strategy of the system, so as to find the best balance between adsorption, heat release and mass transfer. In summary, multi-physics field coupling simulation technology can fully reveal the adsorption and heat release mechanism of activated carbon fiber adsorbents, and provide important theoretical support for future engineering design and application optimization.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problems that the existing adsorbent adsorption and exothermic performance testing experimental procedures are complicated, time-consuming and costly, the present invention proposes an activated carbon fiber adsorbent adsorption and exothermic performance simulation method based on multi-physical field coupling. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention performs multi-physics field coupling simulation of adsorbent adsorption based on COMSOL Multiphysic software, and provides a method for model establishment and effective solution using the software. The purpose of the method is to use the simulation method to establish a correct simulation model, and use the results output by the model to compare with the experiment, so as to effectively obtain real-time data of the adsorbent adsorption process, and the real-time data includes adsorbent temperature data, adsorbent adsorption capacity data, wet air temperature data, and wet air relative humidity data. In addition, adsorption heat transfer data and adsorbent mass transfer data of the adsorbent can be obtained through post-processing, which shortens the manpower, material resources and costs required for the experiment.
