A simplified regenerator theory
TLDR
In this paper, a simplified equation for calculating regenerator efficiency is derived based on the fact that most regenerators encountered in practice have very simple linear ternperature changes in their central portions.Abstract:

A numerical approach for the study of glass furnace regenerators
TL;DR: In this article, an open method to simulate the behavior of a glass furnace regenerator is presented, based on the Boussinesq approximation with a "fictitious thermal expansion coefficient".

Thermal Performance of Diabatic Cyclic Regenerators
Peter J. Heggs,E. A. Foumeny +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of radial conduction and storage of heat in the regenerator walls as well as heat loss were investigated, and indications were given under what regenerator conditions these effects could be reduced.

Development of an apparatus to investigate the thermal characteristics of regenerators
P.J. Heggs,S.J. Hollins +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the influence of the common peripheral pipework on the variation of the inlet regenerator temperatures and the number of cycles required to achieve cyclic steady state.
