Innovative heat pipe systems using a new working fluid

The operating temperature and the heat load of capillary-pumping heat-pipe systems are much lower than maximum attainable limit, and the systems suffer operational instability problems because the working fluid has a negative surface-tension gradient with temperature that is unfavorable for the spreading or re-wetting on a heated surface. The present paper suggests an innovation of heat-pipe system by using new working fluids, which have a positive gradient of surface tension with temperature, to improve the performance of capillary-pumping heat-pipe systems and their operative stability.     

Effect of amount of fluid charge in thermal performance of loop heat pipe

Loop heat pipes (LHPs) are two‐phase thermal control system, which works only by heat from its cooling target. In order to utilize the LHPs in various fields, it is required to be smaller, more reliable, and higher in performance. In the present study, a miniature LHP has been fabricated, and the effect of the amount of working fluid charged on thermal performance of the LHPs has been investigated. Tests were conducted including start‐up, and power step up, as function of the amount of working fluid. The test results showed that under‐charging the working fluid caused start‐up failure, while over‐charging the working fluid made the LHP less stable. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Model-based design and analysis of heat pipe working fluid for optimal performance in a concentric evacuated tube solar water heater

In this study, a semi-dynamic model of a concentric evacuated tube solar water heater is developed to investigate the effect of working fluid design on technical and economic performance of a typical solar water heater in a household located at Sydney, Australia. The model is validated against experimental data. The effects of using water, ammonia, acetone, methanol, and pentane as working fluids of the built-in heat pipe are discussed comparatively during a typical day of operation. Water is identified as the best working fluid amongst the others. The variation of thermal resistance and critical heat flux of the heat pipes due to change in weather condition is presented and discussed. Three hypothetical working fluids are then proposed for further analysis which led to a working fluid design superior to water in performance. It is shown that the performance of the solar water heater can be significantly enhanced up to 28% and 50% from economical and technical points of view, respectively.     

Steady flow and heat transfer of a Sisko fluid in annular pipe

The flow and heat transfer problem of a Sisko fluid in an annular pipe is considered. The governing nonlinear equation of an incompressible Sisko fluid is modelled. Both analytical and numerical solutions of the governing nonlinear problem are presented. The analytical solutions are developed using homotopy analysis method (HAM) and for the numerical solutions the finite difference method in combination with an iterative scheme is used. A comparison between the analytical and the numerical solutions is presented. Moreover, the shear-thinning and shear-thickening behaviors of the non-Newtonian Sisko fluid are discussed through several graphs and a comparison is also made with the Newtonian fluid.

Influence of filling ratio and working fluid thermal properties on starting up and heat transferring performance of closed loop plate oscillating heat pipe with parallel channels

Using ethanol or acetone as the working fluid, the performance of starting up and heat transfer of closed-loop plate oscillating heat pipe with parallel channels(POHP-PC) were experimentally investigated by varying filling ratio, inclination, working fluids and heating power. The performance of the tested pulsating heat pipe was mainly evaluated by thermal resistance and wall temperature. Heating copper block and cold water bath were adopted in the experimental investigations. It was found that oscillating heat pipe with filling ratio of 50% started up earlier than that with 70% when heating input was 159.4 W, however, it has similar starting up performance with filling ratio of 50% as compared to 70% on the condition of heat input of 205.4 W. And heat pipe with filling ratio of 10% could not start up but directly transit to dry burning. A reasonable filling ratio range of 35%-70% was needed in order to achieve better performance, and there are different optimal filling ratios with different heating inputs- the more heating input, the higher optimal filling ratio, and vice versa. However, the dry burning appeared easily with low filling ratio, especially at very low filling ratio, such as 10%. And higher filling ratio, such as 70%, resulted in higher heat transfer( dry burning) limit. With filling ratio of 70% and inclination of 75°, oscillating heat pipe with acetone started up with heating input of just 24 W, but for ethanol, it needed to be achieved 68 W, Furthermore, the start time with acetone was similar as compared to that with ethanol. For steady operating state, the heating input with acetone was about 80 W, but it transited to dry burning state when heating input was greater than 160 W. However, for ethanol, the heating input was in vicinity of 160 W. Furthermore, thermal resistance with acetone was lower than that with ethanol at the same heating input of 120 W.     

Mathematical modeling of an arterial heat pipe with excess fluid charge

The capillary heat transfer limit of an arterial heat pipe is studied. A mathematical model accounting for excess fluid charge is developed. The model is based on one-dimensional conservation equations. Two interrelated dryout mechanisms are considered in the model: the first one takes into account the capillary limit along the heat pipe length and the second along the heat pipe circumference. The model predictions are compared with measurement results. The effects of uncertainties in the fluid charge and critical geometric parameters on the heat transfer limit calculations are studied. The importance of the meniscus contact angle on the results is discussed. It is demonstrated that the proposed mathematical model can be used to make conservative predictions for the capillary heat transfer limit of an arterial heat pipe.
