a simple and robust lumped model for heat and mass transfer of ANG tanks

Unfavorable thermal effects during charge and discharge processes are one of the most challenges facing with adsorbed natural gas (ANG) applications. Mathematical modeling of ANG tank can provides a reliable method to analyze and solve these problems. In this article a robust lumped model for ANG tank in discharge process, based on single (pure) adsorption, is developed. The lumped proposed model is very simpler than other distributed conventional models which requirea great and sometimes complex computational effort. Ultimately, the obtained results are validated with two thermal experimental data sets. The results show acceptable agreement between the proposed model and experimental data.
