Description - Dynamics of Regenerative Heat Transfer by John A Willmott
Interest in waste heat recovery became paramount during the energy crisis of the mid 1970s and that interest has sustained itself through the ongoing international concern about air pollution and, in particular the effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases upon global warming. A. John Willmott, a respected authority on heat recovery, provides up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the modeling of the process of heat transfer embodied in regenerative devices. He brings together material on storage and thermal generators and gives great emphasis to non-linear problems including the representation of temperature dependence of thermophysical properties involved.
In ten dynamic chapters you will find coverage of: the storage of heat in packing; the Single Blow problem; basic concepts in counterflow thermal regenerators; counterflow regenerators; finite conductivity models; non-linear models of counterflow regenerators; transient response of counterflow regenerators; and parallel flow regenerators Bringing together material developed over the past twenty years, the book will be of great interest to mechanical and chemical engineers as well as applied mathematicians concerned with models of heat transfer processes.
