Abstract
Many modern devices developed to provide small amounts of refrigeration at low temperatures are based on refrigeration cycles involving regenerators, e.g., Stirling cycle (Köhler and Jonkers [1]); Gifford-McMahon cycle (Gilford and McMahon [2]), and the Kirk cycle (Dean and Daly [3]). An integral part of each cycle is a small regenerator which may be packed with a variety of materials. Granville et al. [4] and others have carried out experimental work with larger regenerators and found that the theories of Hausen [5], Tipler [6], Lubboch and Bower [7], and Schalkwijk [8] can be applied to larger regenerators, with certain reservations.
