Computer modelling of heat energy regeneration process in a reversible heat exchanger

The article considers approbation of the developed mathematical model of the process of thermal energy accumulation in a stationary switching regenerative heat exchanger using the Matlab computer system. The model was constructed and numerically investigated using a difference scheme. This method is necessary for development of algorithms for calculating the thermal characteristics of heat and mass transfer processes under conditions of regeneration and phase transitions, as well as for analyzing the criteria for optimal control of the operation of this apparatus under nominal and critical environmental conditions.
