Investigation of gas-controlled heat pipes with reservoirs of constant and variable volume
Abstract
The performance characteristics of gas-controlled heat pipes is analyzed for pronounced fluctuations of the temperatures of the heat release area and the medium about the reservoir. An expression which can be used to evaluate the possibility of using a heat pipe with a hot reservoir of constant volume under various conditions is derived, along with an equation for calculating heat pipes with a reservoir of variable volume.
