Using molecular sieves, water vapor was removed from nitrogen gas in a packed bed at 28.3rC. The column height was 0.268 m, with the bulk density of the solid being equal to 712.8 kg/m3. The initial water concentration in the solid was 0.01 kg water/kg solid and the mass velocity of the nitrogen gas was 4052 kg/m2h. The initial water concentration in the gas was c0 = 926 kg water/kg nitrogen.

the value of c/co is desired at the break point
the question is determine the saturation loading capacity of the solid.
