Study of non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures behaviour in gravity assisted heat pipes

Abstract:

In this study, a numerical model has been developed to pbkp_redict the behaviour of non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures in smooth as well as textured gravity assisted heat pipes. In addition, experiments were performed on fully instrumented heat pipes using pure as well as non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures to determine their heat-transfer characteristics. The effects of operating conditions on the transport capability have been measured and analyzed. Numerical results showed that the proposed model favourably pbkp_redicted the performance of the heat pipes under various conditions and compared well with experimental data. © 1991.
