Study on the flow and heat transport characteristics of concentric-tube two-phase thermosyphon

Two-phase thermosyphons, which use sodium at 960 K as a refrigerant for heat transportation in small nuclear reactors, are promising for manned exploration to Mars. This is because the concentric-tube type thermosyphon may not have a flooding limit, and so the heat transfer performance per unit volu...
