An experimental study is realized in order to verify the Mini Heat Pipe (MHP) concept for cooling high power dissipation electronic components and determines the potential advantages of constructing mini channels as an integrated part of a flat heat pipe. A Flat Mini Heat Pipe (FMHP) prototype including a capillary structure composed of parallel rectangular microchannels is manufactured and a f...

Pulsating heat pipe(PHP) has many advantages, such as small volume, simple structure, low cost, good transfer performance, it have great potential in the application of refrigeration, aerospace, waste recovery and - grade energy utilization. Based on analysis a large number research results at home abroad, status pulsating pipe technology is summarized this paper, which can provide scientific g...

The aim of this paper is to give an innovative concept to handle the bore well rescue operations without human intervention and to inspect any type of leakage in the pipe. Normal operation of child rescue is done by using big machines with large manpower involvement. It takes more time to rescue a child from the bore well and to check any kind of irregularities in pipe. Wheeled leg mechanism is...

Author: GAUDIN Michael Affiliation: DER Electricite De France Title: INVERSE IDENTIFICATION AND UPDATING IN VIBRATIONS OF PIPING SYSTEMS Text: This paper concerns the area of vibrations in piping systems of nuclear power plants. One need to represent as better as possible the dynamic behaviour of those systems with respect to the measurements performed on a real structure. In a software develop...

From time-resolved stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements over the entire circular cross section of a pipe, a first-of-its-kind quasi-instantaneous three-dimensional velocity field of a turbulent puff at a low Reynolds number is reconstructed. At the trailing edge of the puff, where the laminar flow undergoes transition to turbulence, pairs of counterrotating streamwise vortices a...

As part of the ongoing research on finned L-shape heat pipes for electronic cooling, the present work focuses on the optimization of the thickness and permeability of wick structure of L-shape heat pipe, using different working fluids. DOptimal Designs Software is used to obtain the optimal solution to align the competing parameters such as the working fluid properties, thickness of the wick an...

This work presents a data driven approach for pipe leaks classification, validated on a steel carbon pipe section conditioned with leaks of different sizes and locations in order to emulate abnormal conditions. The tested structure was instrumented with piezoelectric devices attached at different locations over the surface, in order to induce guided waves and to record its behaviour along the s...

A distributed Brillouin fiber sensor has been employed to detect localized pipe-wall buckling in an energy pipe by measuring the longitudinal and hoop strain distributions along the outer surface of the pipe for the first time. The locations of the localized pipe-wall buckling are found and distinguished using their corresponding strain-load data. The formation of the buckling process for the c...
