The step-by-step validation was done with the same number of spatial finite vol- umes as used in AMPL, i.e., 10, while full-cycle validation was done with 40 finite volumes. We observe that the results from AMPL are in reasonable agreement with those from MATLAB for both the approaches. The step-by-step verification is closer to the AMPL solution because the initial conditions for each step and the time-dependent fluxes between the beds are taken from AMPL, and MATLAB only verifies the temporal accuracy of the AMPL solution. On the other hand, the full-cycle approach reflects more accurate comparison as it simulates the entire cycle and verifies both spatial and temporal accuracy. We observe a reasonably good comparison with the full-cycle approach as well. Moreover, we note that as we switch from CoB to CnB or vice-versa during the cycle, it takes a short while for the flow to reverse entirely in the bed. As a result, a flow of components from the heavy end of CoB or the light end of CnB is observed during this short duration. Such a flow is accounted in the purity and re- Chapter 5.
