Drawing on almost two decades of research, this book presents a detailed and rigorous analysis of the transient and steady periodic operation of regenerative heat exchangers. The model used is based on Nusselts equations describing the transfer of heat between the flowing gases and the regenerator matrix. Unfortunately, the exact solution of the counterflow regenerator problem based on the Nusselt model is not available, and this fact has both motivated the authors to produce this work and goverened its overall structure.The main features included are an exact analytical solution of the regenerator problem for general case, algorithms for the temperature fields evaluation in both transient and steady operation, and a procedure for estimating the duration of transient process when a regenerator is disturbed from its cyclic equilibrium. A comprehensive collection of regenerator-matrix-temperature-fields charts and a systematic set of regenerator effectiveness tables are also given. Providing a wide range of practical tools, Operation of Counterflow Regenerators will be of equal interest to both engineers and researchers. View Contents:
