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...

In this work, a two-dimensional analysis is used to study the thermal performance of a cylindrical heat pipe utilizing nanofluids. Three of the most common nanoparticles, namely Al2O3, CuO, and TiO2 are considered as the working fluid. A substantial change in the heat pipe thermal resistance, temperature distribution, and maximum capillary heat transfer of the heat pipe is observed when using a...

Abstract Heat exchanger optimization is mandatory in almost any industrial application. Thanks to their performances, the Pulsating Pipes (PHPs) are a very interesting Micro-PHPs, which defined as PHPs with tube that has hydraulic diameter < 500 μm, have shown big advantages terms of ability dissipate high heat fluxes, reduced size, and low weight. However, great majority works investigate t...

In this study, the pulsating flow of a non-Newtonian fluid and heat transfer in pipe with uniform flux at its wall is examined analytically. The assumed to be both hydrodynamically thermally fully developed. perturbation method based on series expansion used analysis. periodic change period-averaged values friction factor Nusselt number as well velocity temperature profiles are obtained varying...

Miniature heat pipes are considered to be an innovative solution able to dissipate high heat with low working fluid fill charge, provide automatic temperature control, and operate with minimum energy consumption and low noise levels. A theoretical analysis on heat pipe thermal performance using Deionized water or n-pentane as the working fluid has been carried out. Analysis on the maximum heat ...

Machining of advanced materials, such as composite, encounters high cutting temperatures and rapid tool wear because of the abrasive nature of the reinforcement phases in the workpiece materials. Ultrahard coatings, such as chemical vapor deposition diamond, have been used for machining such advanced materials. Wear of diamond-coated tools is characterized by catastrophic coating failure, plaus...

Heat pipes have become popular as passive heat dissipation devices for many applications ranging from electronics to recovery in recent years. Pulsating Pipe abbreviated PHP is an exclusive category of a pipe which does wick structure. It transfers between its evaporator and condenser sections due the fro movement working fluid caused continuous change phase taking place it. Its operation invol...
