Type of article: Article

Summary

A TYPICAL HEAT PIPE HEAT EXCHANGER WITH CONTINUOUS PLANAR FINS AND A STAGGERED EQUILATERAL TRIANGULAR PITCH OF THE TUBES IS SUBJECT TO OPTIMIZATION FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE RATIO HEAT FLOW/WEIGHT AND HEAT TRANSFER EFFECTIVENESS. DIFFERENT OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURES ARE EXPLAINED IN DETAIL AND NUMERICAL RESULTS ARE GIVEN IN THE APPLICATION. THE HEAT FLOW VALUE, THE NUMBER OF TUBES IN A ROW AND THE NUMBER OF ROWS DO NOT AFFECT OPTIMIZATION RESULTS. THE OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURES PRESENTED IN THIS PAPER MAY BE USED, WITH ADEQUATE TRANSFORMATIONS, FOR OTHER HEAT PIPE HEAT EXCHANGER CONFIGURATIONS.
