Author(s) : FAGHRI A., THOMAS S.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE DESIGN, TESTING, AND THEORETICAL CAPILLARY LIMIT PREDICTION OF A NEW HEAT PIPE CONFIGURATION, WHICH IS THE CONCENTRIC ANNULAR HEAT PIPE. WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT, CAPILLARY WICKS CAN BE PLACED ON BOTH THE INSIDE OF THE OUTER PIPE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE INNER PIPE. THIS DESIGN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE HEAT CAPACITY PER UNIT LENGTH. THE HEAT PIPE WAS TESTED FOR THE TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN THE 3SECTIONS OF THE HEAT PIPE UNDER VARIOUS TILT ANGLES AND HEATING LOADS THROUGH THE INNER AND OUTER PIPES IN THE EVAPORATOR SECTION.
