This thesis examines the transient and steady-state temperature performance
of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger. In contrast to previous
studies on this problem, fluid flow in the circumferential direction was
considered. Appropriate modeling was included to measure the effect of
carry-over on the differential equations describing mass and energy
conservation....
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the
source of the external trade statistics in measuring the price
responsiveness of foreign demands and relative price competitiveness
of the major exporting countries in trade of agricultural commodities
in international markets. In particular, the papers included in this...
