Investigation of a heat pipe with an extended temperature range
Abstract
An analysis is made of a heat pipe operating close to saturation and some specific features of operation with superheating of vapor are noted. Experimental investigation was carried out in a heat pipe with ethanol as a working fluid at the vapor temperatures exceeding 520 K.
