Abstract: A novel helix-shaped oscillating heat pipe (OHP) designed for enhanced heat transfer in thermal management and heat recovery systems was studied experimentally. Two orientations were explored: side-heated, which is the ...

Abstract: Through the application of thin film evaporation theory and the fundamental operating principles of heat pipes, a hybrid axial groove has been developed that can greatly enhance the performance characteristics of conventional ...

Abstract: The objective of the current investigation is to investigate the entropy generation inside porous media utilizing a pore scale modeling approach. The current investigation improves the thermodynamics performance of the ...

Abstract: Nanobubbles are typically classified as gas/vapor phase cavities in an aqueous solution with a characteristic length of approximately 100 nanometers (nm). The theoretical lifetime of these nanobubbles has been estimated ...

Abstract: Presented here are the results of an experimental investigation of two ultrathin miniature loop heat pipes (mLHPs) with different internal wicking structures: one with a primary wicking structure in the evaporator and a ...
