Abstract:The two-phase flow through porous media is an important topic which spans a broad spectrum of engineering disciplines especially in porous heat pipes. Heat pipe is a thermodynamic device that transports heat energy from one location to another with a negligible temperature drop. The aim of the present work is to investigate the phase change mechanisms, namely boiling and condensation, in the flat heat pipe system with different orientation. Governing equations used for the formulation are continuity, mixture m… Show more
