Extended silverstin's correlations on heat pipe heat transport limits

摘要

A brief description is made concerning heat pipe heat pipe heat transport limitations. More practical expressions than theoretical forms are given to calculated sonic, Entrainment, boiling, and capillary limits. The first three are simply correlated With the vapor pressure and are reduced go a Silverstein's formula. The capillary Limit is then expressed in power series of the vapor temperature. All the Coefficient values in the four are listed in the tables for typical 23 kinds of Working fluids.
