higher-order responses. Furthermore, it is seen that base oscillation amplitudes are reduced for larger time constants (larger mass), as expected. Application For application of the previous solutions, the parameter of interest is the amplitude, 0V max, of the outlet temperature. This was obtained from such curves as in Figure 5, and plotted as a function of the time constant and transfer units, as shown in Figure 6. hence the required temperature ratio is 9v>max/N' = rgq = 0.117. This required amplitude is superposed as the dashed line in Figure 6. Thus, there is a unique relationship between xc and N', such that ic is increased when N' is decreased in order to satisfy specified fluid outlet oscillation amplitudes (i.e., the intersection of the dashed and solid lines in Figure 6). The result of this amplitude constraint on the time constant, Tc, is shown in Figure 7 along with the product, ^-N' = (Mc)/SCfP, which is the scaled absorber heat content (per degree), Me [MJ/K],
