Study of Influence Effect on Heat Transfer Performance of Single-Loop Oscillating Heat Pipe

Abstract:

s. The experiment studied the effect of heat source temperature, heating section length ratio, cooling air flow rate, liquid filling rate and pipe diameter on the heat transfer performance of the single-loop red copper-water oscillating heat pipe. The results show that increasing heat source temperature or pipe diameter and reducing filling rate can obviously reduce the thermal resistance of the heat pipe; in the air cooling mode, the cooling thermal resistance outside the pipe is affected by both cooling conditions and heat pipe cooling section average temperature; when the heating section is shorter than the cooling section, the heat pipe thermal resistance shows an apparent trend of increasing with the increase of heating section length ratio, when the heating section is longer than the cooling section, the cooling thermal resistance increases with it apparently; the heat transfer power is the highest when the filling rate is 50%.
