Abstract A kind of stainless-steel heat pipe with sintered fiber wick is investigated with the aim to improve the heat dissipation when it is used in spent fuel pool in nuclear power plant. The effects of test angle, porosity and the filling rate on the heat transfer performance of the heat pipe are studied. At test angle 90°, the permeability plays an important role on the power limit since gravity can provide the necessary driving force. Larger porosity involves with poor heat conductivity although it results in better permeability. When test angle is zero gravity is no longer the driving force. In this case, the evaporation section can still avoid dry burning because part of the evaporation section is dipped in the deionized water. Therefore, permeability and filling ratio are two important factors influencing the power limit. Filling rate determines the vapor flowing space. When test angle is smaller than zero, gravity becomes resistance force. Then the lag tension and the filling rate exert greatest influence on the performance of the heat pipe. Smaller porosity corresponds to smaller contact angle.

Air Conditioning System

This paper deals with the heat transfer performance of a micro-channel backplane heat pipe air conditioning system. The optimal range of the filling rate of a micro-channel backplane heat pipe air conditioning system was determined in the range of 65–75%, almost free from the interference of working conditions. Then, the influence of temperature and air volume flow rate on the heat exchange system were studied. The system maximum heat exchange is 7000–8000 W, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the evaporator and the condenser is almost 0 °C. Under the optimum refrigerant filling rate, the heat transfer of the micro-channel heat pipe backplane system is approximately linear with the temperature difference between the inlet air temperature of the evaporator and the cooling distribution unit (CDU) inlet water temperature in the range of 18–28 °C. The last part compares the heat transfer characteristics of two refrigerants at different filling rates. The heat transfer, pressure, and refrigerant temperature of R134a and R22 are the same with the change of filling rate, but the heat transfer of R134a is lower than that of R22. The results are of great significance for the operational control and practical application of a backplane heat pipe system.

Heat transfer performance of the heat-pipe grinding wheel (HPGW) is mainly depended on the heat pipe in the wheel. In this paper, a basal body of HPGW was developed and a heat transfer experiment was performed to study the effect of the parameters of the heat pipe such as liquid filling ratio and rotating speed on the heat transfer performance of the HPGW. Results show that the heat transfer performance decreases if the liquid filling rate is too large or too small under the same heat source intensity and the optimal liquid filling rate is about 35% of the volume inside the heat pipe. The heat transfer performance of the HPGW is enhanced with the increasing of the rotating speed. The analysis of the results also shows that the heat pipe in the HPGW can play a great role on enhancing the heat transfer in the grinding zone with suitable processing parameters.

s. The experiment studied the effect of heat source temperature, heating section length ratio, cooling air flow rate, liquid filling rate and pipe diameter on the heat transfer performance of the single-loop red copper-water oscillating heat pipe. The results show that increasing heat source temperature or pipe diameter and reducing filling rate can obviously reduce the thermal resistance of the heat pipe; in the air cooling mode, the cooling thermal resistance outside the pipe is affected by both cooling conditions and heat pipe cooling section average temperature; when the heating section is shorter than the cooling section, the heat pipe thermal resistance shows an apparent trend of increasing with the increase of heating section length ratio, when the heating section is longer than the cooling section, the cooling thermal resistance increases with it apparently; the heat transfer power is the highest when the filling rate is 50%.

AbstractTraditional testing algorithm based on pattern matching is impossible to effectively analyze the heat transfer performance of heat pipes filled with different concentrations of nanofluids, so the testing algorithm for heat transfer performance of a nanofluidic heat pipe based on neural network is proposed. Nanofluids are obtained by weighing, preparing, stirring, standing and shaking using dichotomy. Based on this, the heat transfer performance analysis model of the nanofluidic heat pipe based on artificial neural network is constructed, which is applied to the analysis of heat transfer performance of nanofluidic heat pipes to achieve accurate analysis. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively analyze the heat transfer performance of heat pipes under different concentrations of nanofluids, and the heat transfer performance of heat pipes is best when the volume fraction of nanofluids is 0.15%.

This paper specifically addresses the effect of the sintering temperature curve in manufacturing nickel powder capillary structure (wick) for a loop heat pipe (LHP) with flat evaporator. The sintering temperature curve is composed of three regions: a region of increasing temperature, a region of constant temperature, and a region of decreasing temperature. The most important region is the increasing temperature region, as the rate of temperature increase directly affects the performance of the wick.When the slope of the region of increasing temperature is 0.8 (equivalent to 8 OC/min), the structure of the manufactured wick is complete, with the best heat transfer performance result. Experimental resultsshowed that the optimal heat transfer performance is 160W, the minimal total thermal resistance is approximately 0.43OC/W, and the heat flux is 17W/cm2; the optimal wick manufactured has an effective pore radius of 5.2 μm, a permeability of 5.9×10-13m2, and a porosity of 64%.
