Abstract |
|
A closed loop pulsating heat pipe (CLPHP) is small passive heat transfer device with an extremely high effective thermal conductivity. The unique feature of this device compared with conventional heat pipe is that, there is no wick structure to return the condensate fluid to the evaporator section; it means that there is no counter flow between the liquid and the vapor. This paper reviews an influence of different working fluids for different heat input and variable filling ratio of many U turn on CLPHP. The main objective of this paper is to attempt theoretical and experimental investigation of different working fluids such as distilled water, ethanol, acetone and heptane etc., for different heat input and variable filling ratio using a single turn CLPHP to find suitable working fluid for a device. A filling ratio of 50% of its total volume is optimum. |
