The Particular Phenomenon of Pulsating Heat Pipe during its Operation Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Combined with the existing research results, the heat transfer property of Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP) was analyzed on the basis of experimental data processing in multi-operating conditions. PHP could self-repair when heat transfer was deteriorated, and the operating temperature continued to rise with the increased heating power during the operation. This study would contribute to the safe and effective operating; moreover, it could lay foundations for the fundamental investigation of PHP.
