Analytical and numerical study of the flow of working fluid in heat pipes

This work presents the analytical and numerical studies of the flow and heat transfer characteristics in two rotating heat pipes, a conical rotating heat pipe and a rotating heat pipe with a cylindrical evaporator. The simplified momentum equations are solved to predict the film thickness and flow f...
