โฆ Synopsis
A software package was written in BASIC for the IBM PC based on the E-NTUo method for counterflow rotary regenerator heat transfer analysis taking into account the effects of longitudinal and transverse heat conduction in the matrix wall together with the influenoe of fluid bypass and carryover. It was tested for accuracy by comparing the software-generated results with results from case studies in the literature. A comparison with actual operating data of a regenerator used for waste heat recovery in an electric power generation facility showed that the software can predict the regenerator outlet temperatures to within 3.5 percent.

The effects of adding a sensible heat regenerator, in which condensation and subsequent evaporation can occur, to a fruit dehydrator are examined theoretically for several ambient air states and particular drying conditions. Results show that the required heat input to the system is a minimum when t
