摘要: The primary focus of this study is to model steady-state performance a Loop Heat Pipe (LHP). mathematical based on the energy balance equations at each component LHP. heat exchange between LHP and surrounding taken into account. Both convection radiation environments are modeled. loop operating temperature calculated as function applied power given condition. Experimental validation attempted by using two different designs. tested sink temperatures elevations loop. Tbc comparison calculations experimental results showed very good agreement (within 3%). This method proved be useful tool in studying characteristics.
