A Multi-Node Lumped Parameter Model Including Gravity and Real Gas Effects for Steady and Transient Analysis of Heat Pipes

This work presents a multi-node lumped parameter model able to predict the steady and transient behavior of capillary heat pipes, taking into account the effects of gravity (orientation angle) and the real gas effects in the vapor modeling. The model was validated against experimental results acquir...
