A NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE-HEAT-TRANSFER PERFORMANCE OF THE OPEN THERMOSYPHON

摘要

An existing finite-difference solution procedure is employed to predict the hydrodynamics and heat transfer within the thermosyphon for constant-property laminar flow. The full elliptic forms of the governing conversation equations are solved. A brief review of the general aspects and features of the solution procedure is given. The Application of the method to the present problem is described in detail.
