PREDICTION METHOD STUDY ON THERMAL RESPONSE FOR HIGH-TEMPERTURE HEAT PIPE START-UP

摘要

High-temperature heat pipe is a highly effective device which is of capable transporting large amounts of energy from high-flux area to low-flux area.Start-up characteristic s of heat pipe is critical to its normal operation.The primary objective of this research is to investigate a prediction quick method which can simulate the performance of an entire heat pipe with metallic working fluid during startup from a frozen state to operation.
