1. Gas flow through a fixed bed A regenerative heater is a device where “waste" energy from a hot fluid is stored in some type of thermal storage medium before it is transmitted to a cold fluid. In this problem, you will analyze the flow of the cold fluid across a hot packed bed as it picks up the stored energy. This is a fluid flow problem, not a heat transfer problem. A packed bed of cubes (with side =0.6...
