Summary

HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER BETWEEN FLUID STREAMS BY A REGENERATOR WITH A SORBENT MATRIX MAY BE PREDICTED BY THE SUPERPOSITION OF TWO INDEPENDENT REGENERATORS, IN EACH OF WHICH TRANSFER IS DRIVEN BY A COMBINED POTENTIAL, ANALOGOUS TO TEMPERATURE IN A SIMILAR REGENERATOR TRANSFERRING HEAT ALONE. THE COMBINED POTENTIALS AND ASSOCIATED SPECIFIC CAPACITIES ARE EXAMINED, AND THE NATURE OF THE ANALOGY EXPLORED, IN VIEW OF THE DEPENDENCE OF MATRIX SORPTION PROPERTIES ON STATE. FOR AN ENERGY RECOVERY REGENERATOR, THE LINEAR ANALOGY METHOD IS SHOWN TO BE SATISFACTORY, WHILE A NONLINEAR METHOD IS REQUIRED FOR A REGENERATIVE DEHUMIDIFIER. A NONLINEAR METHOD IS DESCRIBED AND IS COMPARED WITH THE PREVIOUS NONLINEAR METHOD THAT IS SHOWN TO BE PARTLY LINEAR. THE SOURCES OF ERROR ARE EXPLORED FOR A SILICAGEL DEHUMIDIFIER, AND WAYS OF IMPROVEMENT ARE INDICATED.
