Trivic, D.N., O Brien, T.J., and Amon, C.H. Modeling the radiation of anisotropically scattering media by coupling Mie theory with Finite volume method. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2004. 47, 5765-5780. [Pg.583]

In the frequency response method, first applied to the study of zeolitic diffusion by Yasuda [29] and further developed by Rees and coworkers [2,30-33], the volume of a system containing a widely dispersed sample of adsorbent, under a known pressure of sorbate, is subjected to a periodic (usually sinusoidal) perturbation. If there is no mass transfer or if mass transfer is infinitely rapid so that gas-solid mass-transfer equilibrium is always maintained, the pressure in the system should follow the volume perturbation with no phase difference. The effect of a finite resistance to mass transfer is to cause a phase shift so that the pressure response lags behind the volume perturbation. Measuring the in-phase and out-of-phase responses over a range of frequencies yields the characteristic frequency response spectrum, which may be matched to the spectrum derived from the theoretical model in order to determine the time constant of the mass-transfer process. As with other methods the response may be influenced by heat-transfer resistance, so to obtain reliable results, it is essential to carry out sufficient experimental checks to eliminate such effects or to allow for them in the theoretical model. The form of the frequency response spectrum depends on the nature of the dominant mass-transfer resistance and can therefore be helpful in distinguishing between diffusion-controlled and surface-resistance-controlled processes. [Pg.57]
