Low-temperature axially grooved heat pipes
Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed for a low-temperature axially grooved heat pipe (LTAGHP) to predict heat pipe characteristics including its thermal resistance at zero gravity and to estimate its parameters for terrestrial applications. The dependence of the maximum heat transfer on the amount of working fluid and heat pipe inclination angle has been studied experimentally. Theoretical predictions and experimental results are compared. The results obtained are of certain interest for designing heat exchangers.
