Type of article: Article

Summary

Documents the rates of heat conduction in a regenerator matrix and unbalanced heat-capacity rates on the second-law efficiency of rotary regenerators. States the results show that the maximum second-law efficiency increases as the ratio of the heat capacity rate increases. States the results can be used to design and optimise the performance of a regenerator considering both heat transfer and pressure drop effects.
