Overview of Micro Heat Pipe Research and Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The concept of a micro heat pipe was first proposed in 1984. Since that time, numerous analytical and experimental investigations have been conducted to determine the fundamental parameters that ...
Transmission of Solid Particulates Using a Two-Phase Medium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ability of water to hold solid particulate matter in suspension, together with its fluidity, make it a desirable medium for use in the transportation of solid material in slurry pipelines. ...
Forced Convection Heat Transfer Augmentation in a Channel With A Localized Heat Source Using Fibrous Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical model is developed for high Reynolds number forced convection heat transfer in a channel filled with randomly oriented, thin fibrous materials of high porosity. A localized isothermal ...
Parametric Study of Pool Boiling on Horizontal Highly Conductive Microporous Coated Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To better understand the mechanisms that govern the behavior of pool boiling on horizontal highly conductive microporous coated surfaces, a series of experimental investigations were designed to ...
Investigation of a Heat Pipe Array for Convective Cooling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A combined experimental and analytical investigation was conducted to evaluate a heat pipe convective cooling device consisting of sixteen small copper/water heat pipes mounted vertically in a 4 ...
Steady-State Investigation of Vapor Deposited Micro Heat Pipe Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental investigation of vapor deposited micro heat pipe arrays was conducted using arrays of 34 and 66 micro heat pipes occupying 0.75 and 1.45 percent of the cross-sectional area, ...
The Influence of the Thermal Conductivity on the Heat Transfer Performance in a Heat Sink
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An extensive numerical analysis of the temperature distribution and fluid flow in a heat sink currently being used for cooling desktop computers was conducted, and demonstrated that if the base ...
Transient Response Characteristics of Vapor Deposited Micro Heat Pipe Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transient thermal response of vapor deposited micro heat pipe arrays fabricated as an integral part of silicon wafers was measured to determine if these arrays could be used to reduce the ...
Experimental Investigation of Capillary-Induced Rewetting in a Flat Porous Wicking Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to investigate the rewetting characteristics of liquid flowing through multiple layers of screen mesh covering a heated vertical plate. Data obtained for ...
Entrainment Limitations in Thermosyphons and Heat Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The isothermal characteristics and high effective thermal conductivity of heat pipes and thermosyphons make them particularly useful in air to air and process to air heat recovery systems. ...
