Popis: Simple expressions have been developed for important variables of the flow in an open-flow solar regenerator (with applications in absorption cooling systems) through a first- and second-law analysis of the system. In particular, expressions for the regenerator figure of merit, the exergetic or rational efficiency and the entropy production rate have been given and applied to some available data with reasonably good results.
