Pulsating Heat Pipe

The closed loop pulsating heat pipe is made of copper capillary tube as we know; this capillary tube is filled with different fluid with different fill ratio. The filling ratio can be defined as the fraction by volume of the heat pipe, which is initially filled with the liquid. The optimal filling ratio is determined experimentally when the maximum heat transfer rate is achieved at a given temperature. This is calculating with simple way that is the total internal volume of capillary. There are many factors which affect the performance of CLPHP like filling ratio, number of turns, input heat flux, working fluid etc. In this experimentation, the number of turns used is one and the heat load is varied from 8 W to 16 W in steps of 2 W. The PHP …show more content…

The several test on the experimental setup carried out for summarizing the optimal filling ratio. The different filling ratio are used in CLPHP is from 60% to 80% in step of 10% for Acetone and
