Summary
By solving a Laplace-type equation for the porous structure, analytical solutions for liquid pressures, velocities and temperature in it were obtained. A perturbation method was applied for the temperature distribution with higher heat inputs. For the temperature correction, an approximate solution was derived using an integral formulation. The analytical solution obtained is useful for the design of capillary pumped loops.
