Type of article: Article

Summary

GENERALLY, IT IS AN ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE TO OPERATE A HEAT PIPE IN A CONDITION WHERE THE RATIO OF HEAT FLOW RATE TO MASS IS A MAXIMUM. IT IS SHOWN THAT A MAXIMUM OF THE FUNCTION MAY BE OBTAINED IF THE RATIO BETWEEN THE EVAPORATOR AND THE CONDENSER LENGTHS IS OPTIMUM. TO ACHIEVE THIS OPTIMIZATION, ALL THE OTHER GEOMETRICAL ELEMENTS OF THE HEAT PIPE AND THE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS ARE CONSIDERED CONSTANTS, THE ONLY VARIABLES BEING THE TWO LENGTHS.
