Abstract
Finite-time thermodynamics is used to study a compressor-driven, metal -hydride slurry air conditioner. Such a regenerative heat exchanger, t he system has the potential to achieve high cooling power and efficien cy. Important parameters such as the total heat conductance between re actors and reservoirs, pressure ratio of the compressor, mass ratio of slurry to hydrogen, compressor efficiency, heat of desorption, and fr action of heat conductance associated with the cold reservoir were con sidered.
