A Study on the Performance of the Boiling and Condensation Heat Transfer of Vertical Closed Two-Phase Thermosyphons with Low Integral-Fins

관 외벽에 낮은 핀을 가진 수직 열사이폰의 비등 및 응축열전달 성능에 관한 연구

An Experimental study on the boiling and condensation heat transfer performance of thermosyphons with low intergral-fins was performed to investigate its heat transfer characteristics. A plain thermo syphon having the same inner and outer diameter as the finned thermosyphons was also tested for comparison. Water and CFC-30 was used as working fluids. The experimental results have been assessed and compared with same existing theories. Good agreement with the theories of Imura and Nusselt was obtained. The vertical closed-type thermosyphons with low integral-fins gave significant increases in the overall heat transfer coefficient compared to plain thermosyphon. In addition, the overall heat transfer coefficients and the operating characteristics was obtained as a function vof operating temperature for the practical applications. Also, the closed two-phase thermosyphons with low integral-fins would be highly recommended to achieve some inexpensive and compact heat exchangers in the range of low temperatures.
