The influence of geometric (length, diameter and wall thickness of a unit equivalent channel of the nozzle), thermophysical (density and heat capacity of the nozzle material) and operating parameters (air flow through the regenerator and the time of one stage of accumulation / regeneration of thermal energy) on the thermal efficiency of stationary switching regenerative heat exchangers was studied . It was revealed that by varying the length and diameter of the channel and air flow, it is possible to increase thermal efficiency up to 10%. It was found that the wall thickness of a single channel, the density and heat capacity of the material of the nozzle, as well as the time of one stage, slightly aff ect the thermal efficiency of the regenerative heat exchanger.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
