Solution by the self-adjoint operator method for a model of a co/counter-current moving bed heat exchanger with heat losses
A solution by the self-adjoint operator method (SAO) (still not widely used in engineering) is presented for a lumped parameter model (LM) of a co/counter-current, indirect heated, diluted, tubular, vertical moving bed heat exchanger (MBHE), with Push heat loss to surroundings.The self-adjoint formulation of the problem and several mathematical tec
