Thanks chicopee,
I can't thank you enough for helping me out with this. I'm assuming the document you added makes use of the empirical relationships you mentioned?
To clarify further, if the water is saturated, the mass of water being removed is considered to be representative of the whole volume. So if the vapor fraction is 40%, and I remove 1kg of water, I will have removed an 400g of steam and 600g of water.
The vessel is completely sealed, water mass is removed via sorption and can be considered to simply have disappeared.
The vessel remains constant in size and is completely sealed. The only thing that changes is the mass of water and the total temperature.
So to restate my problem more...
Hi Guys,
I'm building a numerical Matlab simulation of a thermochemical heat storage device (using zeolites), and need to update the state of water vapor in the device at every time step. My question is, if I have an empty space with water in it, with temperature, pressure, density, etc. all...
