Transport characteristics of a heat pipe with water, methanol, and Freon-113 and some features of its work
Abstract
A heat pipe used in experimental studies is described with attention to a screened wick and its mounting. The temperature distribution along the length is dependent on the transmitted power; the temperature distributions obtained using water, methanol, or Freon-113 at five different heats are depicted. Characteristics of the heat surface of the wick are determined, and the effect of wick dessication is considered. Other aspects of heat pipes, such as the angular dependence of the temperature distribution, are examined.
