Investigation of the overall transient performance of the industrial two-phase closed loop thermosyphon.

Summary

The control volume approach is the base of a global analysis describing the motion of vapour and liquid phases of the thermosyphon system in one-dimensional equations. Interfacial shear forces are neglected as only co-current flows are present. Heat transfer coefficients are based on empirical correlations. It is found that the density ratio vapour-liquid, dimensionless friction coefficient and water column length determine respectively the overall dynamic behaviour characteristics such as response time, damping and oscillation frequency.
