A critical review of thermal enhancement of packed beds for water vapour adsorption

SK Yeboah, J Darkwa - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
Packed beds are the simplest fluid–solid contact systems for water vapour adsorption from
humid air. They usually are free from mechanical problems due to their non-moving parts …
