Mathematical modeling of a cylinder with a sorbent and natural gas

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A cylinder for adsorption storage of natural gas is modeled. A system of differential equations describing the dynamics of nonequilibrium sorption is formulated. The process of withdrawal of gas from the cylinder is numerically analyzed.
