Numerical study of the accessorial loop with a micro-pump and ejector for the Capillary Pumped Loop

摘要

An accessorial loop with a micro-pump and ejector is applied into the Capillary Pumped Loop (CPL), and a 3-D model is developed to investigate the operation performance of the ejector. The numerical results show that the mass flux can be enhanced with an accessorial loop. However, a sub-cooler is necessary to locate between the outlet of the ejector and the inlet of the evaporator to condense the mixed fluid into liquid.
