Abstract

The thermal–hydraulic performance of porous spherical bed regenerator was investigated in the present study. For this, a laboratory apparatus was developed with a passive system for evaluating the performance of a spherical bed regenerator at liquid nitrogen temperature with different porosities and mass flow rates of (0.4, 0.5, 0.6) and (2.29 g/s, 2.813 g/s, 3.33 g/s), respectively. The effectiveness of the regenerator was found to improve with increasing mass flow rate and decreasing porosity. The regenerator performed best with a mass flow rate and porosity of 2.29 g/s and 0.4, respectively.
