dc.description.abstractThe effect of pipe flattening on pressure drop in vapor core and also heat transfer characteristic of the sintered fiber heat pipes has been investigated. The original diameter of heat pipes were 2 mm and 3 mm, respectively, with the effective length of 100 mm. Thermal performance of the flat-shaped heat pipe with the sintered fiber bundle wick was experimentally investigated under a horizontal orientation in this study. The proper fiber bundle wicks were fabricated at porosity of 0.54, and firmly filled within internal heat pipe wall by the sintering process. The heat pipes were pressed into two final thickness by the flattened process which results in vapor core minimizing. The numerical method was established in modified forms to represent the related wick-heat pipe design parameters, for example, wick thickness, wick porosity, wall thickness, flattened width and height, corresponding to thermal performance of fiber wick heat pipes. The numerical analysis for pressure drop was only focused on vapor core region. The vapor flow was assumed to be laminar and incompressible. It is found that when the heat pipe was flattened, the pressure drop increased. The flattening of heat pipe caused the smaller space of vapor core, therefore the working fluid in vapor phase could not easily transfer heat. In this case, the critical final thickness of 0.45 mm (for original diameter of 2 mm) which the vapor core area nearly approaches to zero, has an effect on the high value of thermal resistance considered in vapor core (z5). In addition, the overall thermal resistance estimated from ESDU79012 agrees well with that obtained from the experiment with the standard deviation (STD) of ±15 %, and it shows that the thermal resistance model can provides a reasonable prediction for the thermal resistance of flat-shaped heat pipes with sintered fiber wicks. Moreover, the new normalized parameter h′v/hv is proposed to represent the appearance of vapor core after pipe flattening which can be used to suggest a desirable normal region of flattened heat pipe with the sintered fiber wick. The critical remaining vapor core height after pipe flattening has been further analyzed to be 0.06 (about 74% from original diameter).en_US
