The Representation of Regenerator Fluid Carryover by Bypass Flows
Keyword(s):
A regenerator transfers sensible heat between two fluid streams by means of a porous matrix through which the streams are passed alternately. The fluid contained in the matrix passages is carried over from one fluid stream to the other, and contributes to the heat transfer process. It has been suggested that this contribution may be predicted by treating the fluid carryover as fluid flows bypassing the matrix. The validity of this representation is explained, and its accuracy is explored in a case for which numerical solutions of the governing equations are available. A published analysis of the representation is discussed and completed.
