In all the theoretical studies on air heaters reported so far, the performance of the system is evaluated by keeping the rate of air flow constant throughout the operating time. In this communication an air heater is discussed in two other modes: Mode I in which the outlet air temperature is constant and Mode II in which the difference between the inlet and outlet air temperatures is constant. This is achieved by making the air flow rate time dependent.
