A model is derived for the steady state performance of capillary-driven heat pipes on the basis treating fluid flow through miniature- and micro-channels and applied as bulk properties to a large aspect ratio quasi-one-dimensional two-phase system. Surface tension provides the driving force based on an equivalent bulk capillary radius while laminar flow through micro-channels and the vapor core are treated. Heat conduction is accounted for radially while isothermal advection is treated along the axis. A closed-form solution is derived for a steady state heat pipe with a constant heat flux boundary condition on the evaporator as well as a constant heat flux or a convective boundary condition along the condenser. Two solution methods are proposed, and the result is compared to empirical data for a copper-water heat pipe. The components of the closed-form solution are discussed as contributors to driving or frictional forces, and the existence of an optimal pore radius is demonstrated.

AbstractSaving energy is just as important as generating energy. In this paper, we seek an optimized structure that achieves a certain level of heat transfer rate under a minimum pumping power to drive the fluid stream. Constraints are specified by the flow regime (laminar and turbulent), admissible boundary conditions on the walls (prescribed temperature and constant heat flux), and design standards. The study will help designers with more effective basic tools for the conceptual design of system and in establishing proper operating procedures.
