Multiphysics Numerical Simulation of Supercritical CO 2 Processing in Chitosan Aerogel Beads: Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer With Porosity and Shrinkage Evolution
This study presents a transient multiphysics numerical model for analyzing supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) drying of single chitosan alcogel beads, focusing on coupled heat transfer, solvent diffusion, porosity evolution, and shrinkage deformation. The model integrates Darcy‐based flow behavior, Fickian solvent di...
