mputation of the resistance offered by the checkerwork
of a regenerator is given below as an example. This checkerwork
is composed of vertical channels, those in one tier being 120 mmX
60 mm and in the alternate tiers 60 mm X 60 mm.
The velocity of the gas in the smaller channels is" Fmax and
in the larger channels Vmm, so that
