Heat transfer and fluid dynamics in miniature two-phase heat transfer systems
For the first time a comprehensive study of the processes of heat transfer and hydrodynamics during evaporation and condensation in closed miniature two-phase systems was carried out. The regularities of the influence of geometric and regime factors on the thermal resistance and maximum heat fluxes of miniature heat pipes, thermosyphons and pulsating capillary heat pipes are revealed. The physical model of heat exchange processes in the conditions of limited space at application as heat carriers of ordinary liquids and nanofluids is developed and presented.
