Effects of working fluid filling ratio and heat flux on correlations of heat transfer coefficient in the loop thermosiphon.

Author(s) : CHANG K. C., LEE K. W., LEE Y. S., et al.

Summary

The evaporator and condenser of the thermosiphon loop test rig were made of carbon-steel; distilled water was used as working fluid in the experiments. From the experimental data, correlations of heat transfer coefficient for evaporator and condenser sections were obtained. For heat fluxes in the range of 13,000-78,000 W/m2, the correlation equations of heat transfer coefficients in evaporator and condenser predict the experimental behaviour to within plus or minus 5% and plus or minus 20% respectively.
