A novel loop heat pipe system was designed for use in solar hot water heating and an analytical model was developed to investigate its thermal performance and determine six major limits to system operation, i.e. capillary limit, entrainment limit, viscous limit, boiling limit, sonic limit, and fille

Since the loop heat pipe was invented in 1987 in Japan, efforts have been made to extend it for cryogenic use. In 1991, a loop heat pipe was demonstrated to work at liquid nitrogen temperature. The present work has taken these efforts still further. This work shows that loop heat pipes can be made t
Because the evaporative heat transfer of a wick structure in a loop heat pipe is exceedingly sensitive to the internal volume fractions of liquid and vapor phases, the purpose of this study was to investigate the evaporative heat transfer of various biporous wick parameters by controlling the partic
