This paper intends to use Gambit software to set up different mathematical models for the finned heat pipe, separately from the perspectives of three-dimensional, steady-state, natural and mixed convection. And then, it also uses Fluent software to do numerical simulation on the influence of different fin spacing, fin height and fin angle under the conditions of natural convection and different horizontal wind speed on heat transfer performance of fin under the conditions of mixed convection. The results show that, under the condition of natural convection, increasing the fin spacing, fin height and fin angle with the horizontal angle can improve the heat transfer performance of finned heat pipe; Under the condition of mixed convection, with the increase of horizontal wind speed, on which the horizontal wind speed has a greater influence, the heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficient of fin present approximately linear increase.

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%.

AbstractTwo-dimensional conjugate heat transfer performance of stepped lid-driven cavity was numerically investigated in the present study under forced and mixed convection in laminar regime. Pure water and Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)/water nanofluid with three different nanoparticle volume concentrations were considered. All the numerical simulations were performed in ANSYS FLUENT using homogeneous heat transfer model for Reynolds number, Re = 100 to 500 and Grashof number, Gr = 5000, 13,000 and 20,000. Effective thermal conductivity of the Al2O3/water nanofluid was evaluated by considering the Brownian motion of nanoparticles which results in 20.56% higher value for 3 vol.% Al2O3/water nanofluid in comparison with the lowest thermal conductivity value obtained in the present study. A solid region made up of silicon is present underneath the fluid region of the cavity in three geometrical configurations (forward step, backward step and no step) which results in conjugate heat transfer. For higher Re values (Re = 500), no much difference in the average Nusselt number (Nuavg) is observed between forced and mixed convection. Whereas, for Re = 100 and Gr = 20,000, Nuavg value of mixed convection is 24% higher than that of forced convection. Out of all the three configurations, at Re = 100, forward step with mixed convection results in higher heat transfer performance as the obtained interface temperature is lower than all other cases. Moreover, at Re = 500, 3 vol.% Al2O3/water nanofluid enhances the heat transfer performance by 23.63% in comparison with pure water for mixed convection with Gr = 20,000 in forward step.

To solve the cooling problem in modern electronic device, a kind of heat pipe radiator was designed and manufactured in this paper. The heat transfer performance of heat pipe radiator and its relationship with air velocity were investigated by experimental method. The experimental results show that the heat pipe radiator can meet the temperature requirement of electronic device with the power range from 40W to 160W. To keep the operational temperature of electronic device with power of 160W under 75°C，the air velocity should be keep at 1.7m/s. The heat dissipation performance of heat pipe radiator was enhanced with the air velocity increased from 0.2m/s to 1.7m/s.for the electronic equipment with power of 160W.

Increasing Temperature

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%.
