Heat Pipe Design and Technology

Meer over het boek

Focusing on modern heat pipe engineering, this book delves into optimizing heat pipes for broader applications. It covers operational and design principles, alongside a review of heat and mass transfer theory essential for performance. The text explores high-heat flux applications, addressing challenges like non-uniform heat loading, limited airflow, and constraints on space and weight. Key issues such as load-balancing, materials characteristics, thermal resistance, and operating orientation are also thoroughly examined, making it a comprehensive resource for engineers.
