Heat transfer and viscous losses in microchannel passive regenerators. 2. Parameter extraction.

Author(s) : SCHOPFER S., TURA A., ROWE A.

Summary

The essential component of active magnetic refrigeration (AMR) technology is the regenerator. In order to characterize a given regenerator matrix numerous transport quantities must be determined experimentally. In particular, the pressure drop and the heat transfer coefficient is needed for design optimization and modelling purposes of AMR systems. In this paper a novel method is outlined for the extraction of those transport coefficients given experimental data. The experimentally obtained values are compared to theoretical calculations.
