Performance of Flexible Evaporator for Loop Heat Pipe Technologies

Experimental Investigation on CuO/Water Nanofluid Effect on the Heat Transfer Rate of Heat Pipe Network

In this study, a new configuration of heat pipes as Heat Pipe Network is introduced. Here, the heat pipe network is designed, constructed and then has been under the performance assessment. This heat pipe network consists of 4 vertical heat pipes connected to evaporator collector from bottom and condenser collector from top. In order to investigate the effect of nanofluids on the thermal effici...

numerical three dimensional heat transfer modeling in ultrafilterated white cheese

temperature profile during the salting process play an important role in cheese quality since microbial and enzymatic activities, are thereby affected. in this work a three dimensional model was developed for heat transfer in the ultrafilterated cheese by using numerical solution of fourier's second law with finite difference method (explicit scheme) as a function of internal variable (che...

Numerical study of heat pipe application in heat recovery systems

Heat pipes, as two-phase heat transfer devices with extremely high effective thermal conductivity. They can be cylindrical or planar in structure. Heat pipes can be embedded in a metal cooling plate, which is attached to the heat source, and can also be assembled with fin stack for fluid heat transfer. Due to the high heat transport capacity, heat exchangers with heat pipes have become much sma...

Design, Fabrication and Experimental Study of Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Micro Heat Pipe

In order to study the heat transfer characteristics, a micro heat pipe (MHP) of circular geometry having inner diameter 1.8 mm and length 150 mm is designed and fabricated. An experimental investigation is carried out also to investigate the performance of the MHP with different experimental parameters. These experimental parameters include inclination angle, coolant flow rate, working fluid an...
