THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF REGENERATIVE HEAT-TRANSFER PROCESSES

The process of heat transfer in a regenerative heat exchanger was investigated and the optimum values of its parameters (the durations of the heat-transfer half-cycles, the minimum surface of contact of the flows with the packing, and the duration of the total heat-transfer cycle in the heat exchanger) were obtained. The entropy production in this process was determined. The region of admissible regime parameters of a regenerative heat exchanger was constructed.
