Heat and mass transfer in the vapour gas region of a gas-loaded heat pipe
Abstract
A numerical analysis of the two-dimensional heat and mass transfer in the vapor-gas region of a simple cylindrical heat pipe in a transient state is presented. The governing differential equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and species for a symmetrical heat pipe are solved and the quantitative behavior of the start-up transient in the vapor-gas region of the gas-loaded heat pipe is described.
