Experiment d a t a were gathered t o s i m u l a t e c o n d i t i o n s p r u t o t y p i c of both a f l u i d i z e d bed c o a l comb u s t o r a p p l i c a t i o n and a space environment a p p l i c a t i o n. Both s e t s of experiment d a t a show good agreement w i t h t h e heat pipe a n a l y t i c a l model. The h e a t t r a n s f e r performance of t h e heat pipe proved reliable over a substantial period of operation and over much thermal cycling.

The degrees of liquid superheat required to initiate boiling in the alkali metals a r e found by examining the . p r e s s u r e -t e m p e r a t u r e h i s t o r y of the s y s t e m . and by using the bubble-equilibrium equation. The calculated incipientboiling sli.perheats for sodium and potassium a r e shown t o be in agreement with data presented in the l i t e r a t u r e .
