Heat pipe Best PPT
This document provides an overview of heat pipes, including their working principle and key components. A heat pipe is a device that transfers heat using a vaporization-condensation cycle with very high efficiency. It contains a container, working fluid, and wick structure. As heat is applied at the evaporator end, the fluid vaporizes and moves through the container to the condenser end where it condenses and is pumped back to the evaporator by the wick, transferring heat in the process. Common working fluids, wick designs, and applications of heat pipes are discussed. Heat pipes can be used to efficiently transfer heat in electronics, aerospace, and other industrial applications.

- 3. Working Principle • Theheat input region of the heat pipe is called evaporator, the cooling region is called condenser. • In between the evaporator and condenser regions, there may be an adiabatic region
- 4. • Container • Workingfluid • Wick or Capillary structure
- 5. 1.Container The function ofthe container is to isolate the working fluid from the outside environment. Selection of the container material depends on many factors. These are as follows: Compatibility (both with working fluid and external environment) Strength to weight ratio Thermal conductivity Ease of fabrication, including welding, machineability and ductility Porosity Wettability
- 6. Container materials Of themany materials available for the container, three are by far the most common in use—name copper, aluminum, and stainless steel. Copper is eminently satisfactory for heat pipes operating between 0–200◦C in applications such as electronics cooling. While commercially pure copper tube is suitable, the oxygen- free high conductivity type is preferable. Like aluminum and stainless steel, the material is readily available and can be obtained in a wide variety of diameters and wall thicknesses in its tubular form.

- 9. 1. It isa porous structure made of materials like steel,alumunium, nickel or copper in various ranges of pore sizes. 2. The prime purpose of the wick is to generate capillary pressure to transport the working fluid from the condenser to the evaporator. 3. It must also be able to distribute the liquid around the evaporator section to any area where heat is likely to be received by the heat pipe.
- 10. 4. Wicks arefabricated using metal foams, and more particularly felts, the latter being more frequently used. By varying the pressure on the felt during assembly, various pore sizes can be produce. 5. The maximum capillary head generated by a wick increases with decrease in pore size. 6. The wick permeability increases with increasing pore size. 7. Another feature of the wick, which must be optimized, is its thickness. The heat transport capability of the heat pipe is raised by increasing the wick thickness. 8. Other necessary properties of the wick are compatibility with the working fluid and wettability.
- 12. Wick Design Two maintypes of wicks: homogeneous and composite. 1.Homogeneous- made from one type of material or machining technique. Tend to have either high capillary pressure and low permeability or the other way around. Simple to design, manufacture, and install . 2.Composite- made of a combination of several types or porosities of materials and/or configurations. Capillary pumping and axial fluid transport are handled independently . Tend to have a higher capillary limit than homogeneous wicks but cost more.

- 14. Three properties effectwick design 1. High pumping pressure- a small capillary pore radius (channels through which the liquid travels in the wick) results in a large pumping (capillary) pressure. 2. Permeability - large pore radius results in low liquid pressure drops and low flow resistance. Design choice should be made that balances large capillary pressure with low liquid pressure drop. Composite wicks tend to find a compromise between the two. 3. Thermal conductivity - a large value will result in a small temperature difference for high heat fluxes.

Editor's Notes
- #18 Lift and Drag Drag-based wind turbine In drag-based wind turbines, the force of the wind pushes against a surface, like an open sail. In fact, the earliest wind turbines, dating back to ancient Persia, used this approach. The Savonius rotor is a simple drag-based windmill that you can make at home (Figure 1). It works because the drag of the open, or concave, face of the cylinder is greater than the drag on the closed or convex section. Lift-based Wind Turbines More energy can be extracted from wind using lift rather than drag, but this requires specially shaped airfoil surfaces, like those used on airplane wings (Figure 2). The airfoil shape is designed to create a differential pressure between the upper and lower surfaces, leading to a net force in the direction perpendicular to the wind direction. Rotors of this type must be carefully oriented (the orientation is referred to as the rotor pitch), to maintain their ability to harness the power of the wind as wind speed changes. Airflow over any surface creates two types of aerodynamic forces— drag forces, in the direction of the airflow, and lift forces, perpendicular to the airflow. Either or both of these can be used to generate the forces needed to rotate the blades of a wind turbine.
