Abstract: | Rock bed thermal storage with humid air green house or regenerative air cooling application are becoming widely investigated nowadays. The effect of the mass transfer in the circulated air has not received much attention. In this experimental study, the effect of the mass in the operated air is studied and new correlation for calculating the coefficient of volumetric heat transfer for humid air is presented. |
