Abstract

Adsorption is a retention mechanism of fluid molecules on solid surfaces and presents a wide range of applications, such as fuel storage, refrigeration and separation processes. This work describes the modelling of gas adsorption on porous media and presents an optimisation approach for the design of adsorption systems based on biphasic adsorbent beds by topology optimisation. A comprehensive formulation for the adsorption phenomenon is presented, detailing the derivation of governing equations and respective weak forms and discretisation for the implementation of the finite element method (FEM). A new topology optimisation material model based on offset hyperbolic tangents is introduced. The derivation of sensitivities is presented in detail, based on a transient adjoint problem. A diverse set of optimised adsorbed natural gas (ANG) tanks, considering real material properties of activated carbon and steel, is presented. Results indicate the suitability of the method in optimising the distribution of phases across adsorbent beds and show that biphasic ANG tanks can perform significantly better than traditional tanks.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
