Type of article: Article

Summary

The capillary pump, which has been newly designed for an application in future space projects, serves a double function as the heat absorbing element in a closed loop as well as a pump circulating the working fluid. The working fluids used were R11 and liquid anhydrous ammonia. The paper describes the associated heat and mass transport in the capillary pump, and the physical process of the capillary pumping is explained. Furthermore, a model is introduced which explains the boiling heat transfer in the porous structure of the capillary pump.
