Abstract

Governing equations are developed for a simple capacitive heat exchanger. This type of heat exchanger consists of hot spherical particles falling through an ascending cold gas stream. The assumptions made in deriving the continuity, momentum and energy equations are clearly stated. The analysis yields a system of first-order, ordinary, nonlinear equations which form a complex boundary-value problem, Part II of this report will present the method of solution together with a comparison between the performance of capacitive heat exchangers and conventional counter flow ones.
