Steady State Heat Transfer

The often used argument that heat transfer in micro-sized devices is superior due to the fact that the transfer area scales like L2 but the volume like L3 with L as a characteristic length is critically analyzed for various heat transfer situations. It turns out that for steady state heat transfer cases the thermal boundary layer behavior is more important. In general, dimensional analysis should be applied to understand how the heat transfer performance changes when scales are reduced from macro- to micro-size.

Steady State Heat Transfer

Two-phase closed thermosyphons have good thermal conductivity and are widely used in heat transfer applications. It is essential to establish an effective method for evaluating the steady-state heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphons, as such a method can help to select appropriate designs and to improve the efficiency of these devices. In this paper, the equivalent thermal conductivity is derived by the principle of equal total thermal resistance, in which the influence of the adiabatic length is eliminated. An evaluation model of the steady-state heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphons is established. Test results of three two-phase closed thermosyphons with total lengths of 220 mm, 320 mm and 500 mm show that as the heat transfer rate increases, the equivalent thermal conductivity of these devices decreases by 28.91%, increases by 6.10% and increases by 10.02%, respectively, among which the minimum value is 831.63 W?m-1?K-1and the maximum value is 1694.19 W?m-1?K-1. The decrease (increase) in the equivalent thermal conductivity in the evaluation model indicates a decrease (increase) in the heat transfer performance. The results show that the equivalent thermal conductivity of the model can effectively evaluate the heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphons.

Heat pipe may be affected by the high temperature heat source during operation, resulting in unsteady oscillation heating. In this paper, the influence of alternating power and period on the start-up and heat transfer performance of mercury heat pipe is studied by using the method of equivalent thermal resistance of heat pipe. The results are as follows:1) The start-up time of alternating power heating and steady-state power heating is basically equal; 2) For the alternating power heating, the steady-state temperature of heat pipe changes periodically, increasing the alternating period or the amplitude of alternating power will lead to the increase of the fluctuation amplitude of heat pipe temperature, and the influence of alternating period is greater than that of changing the amplitude of alternating power. 3) Under the condition of alternating power heating, the steady-state thermal resistance of heat pipe changes periodically. The fluctuation amplitude of steady-state thermal resistance of heat pipe increases with the increase of alternating period and alternating power amplitude, and the influence of alternating power amplitude is greater than that of alternating period.

Abstract The pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is a passive cooling device, which has the advantages of simple structure, high heat transfer performance and low production cost. The complex vapor-liquid phase change occurs in the in the initial stage of PHP. In this work, we explore the start-up performance of PHP at different inclination angles and the experiment shows that start-up performance is respectively different when the angles are 0°, 45°, 90°, 135° and 180°. Since the gravitational auxiliary function, the working fluid in the communicating pipe which takes longer time to vaporize change phase earlier than that in PHP’s loop when the angles are 0° and 45°. Nevertheless, when the angle is 90°, the phase change of working fluid in communicating pipe and in the loop occurs at the same time. Meanwhile, the oscillating mode affects the stability of the starting and heat transfer performance of the PHP.

Steady State Heat Transfer

A two-phase closed thermosyphon is an efficient heat transfer element. The heat transfer process of this type of thermosyphon includes conduction and convective heat transfer accompanied by phase changes. Variations in the inclination angle of a thermosyphon affect the steady-state heat transfer performance of the device. Therefore, the inclination angle is an important factor affecting the performance of a thermosyphon. In this paper, an equation for the actual heating area variations with respect to the inclination angle is deduced, and a model for the areal thermal resistance of a thermosyphon is proposed by analyzing the main influence mechanisms of the inclination angle on the heat transfer process. The experimental results show that the areal thermal resistance, which accounts for the effect of the actual heating area, does not change with respect to the inclination angle and exhibits a linear relationship with the heat transfer rate. The thermal resistance equation is fit according to the experimental data when the inclination angle of the thermosyphon is vertically oriented (90°), and the predicted values of the thermosyphon’s thermal resistance are obtained when the thermosyphon is inclined. The deviations between the experimental data and predicted values are less than ±0.05. Therefore, the theoretical equation can accurately predict the thermosyphon’s thermal resistance at different inclination angles.

More than one steady-state solution is shown to exist for the problem of steady-state heat transfer across the walls of a duplex tube when the initial prestress between the inner and outer tubes is sufficiently low. This determination was used in explaining the apparently erratic heat-transfer performance of prestressed duplex tubes in the steam generating system of the Experimental Breeder Reactor II. The importance of the results lies not only in showing that nonuniqueness of steady-state solution applies to more complex geometries than heretofore analyzed, but also in demonstrating that such multiple steady-state conditions appear in practical situations.
