An experimental study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of filling ratio (F.R) and tilted angle (Φ) of the evaporator section on the thermal efficiency in a two-phase closed thermosyphon (TS) with the vertical condenser and adiabatic sections. Therefore, a copper tube with inner diameter of 14.5 mm was used with distilled water in the filling ratio 15 % to 60 % and input heat 100 to 250 watt. The evaporator section of TS (from the junction of an adiabatic section) is bent and compare with vertical positions. Through this study, it was found that optimum of F.R was 45 % and the best-tilted angle for the evaporator was 60º relative to the horizontal axis. Also, the boiling heat transfer coefficient rises about 15.2 % when the evaporator section will be bent 60º in optimized filling ratio. Furthermore, boiling heat transfer coefficient obtained from the experimental results of this research were compared with Rohsenow's correlation, who showed good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
