  • In this paper, we introduce a model for a buoyancy-driven, air-to-air heat exchanger. This model, derived from first principles, features a conservative boundary condition at inflow based on the compressible Bernoulli equation, and a dissipative boundary condition at outflow based on pressure continuity. We solve for the steady-state behavior numerically and asymptotically, with excellent agreement between the two, and we study the tradeoff between the efficiency and air flow predicted by the model.
