Evaporation/boiling heat transfer characteristics in an artery porous structure

Abstract

Abstract:Cryogenic loop heat pipe (CLHP) is one of the key components in the future space infrared 10 exploration system, which enables effective and efficient cryogenic heat transport over a long distance with a 11 flexible thermal link. To realize reliable and long life operation, a CLHP-based thermal control system with 12 redundancy design was proposed in this work, where two nitrogen-charged CLHPs were employed to provide 13 cryocooling at 80-100K. This study focused on the supercritical startup of the CLHPs with redundancy design, 14and an extensive experimental study under four possible working modes was conducted. Experimental results 15showed that with 2.5W applied to the secondary evaporator, each CLHP could realize the supercritical startup 16 successfully in the normal working mode; however, the required time differed a lot because the difference in the 17 transport line diameter significantly affected the cryocooling capacity to the primary evaporator. In the backup 18 conversion mode, instant switch of the two primary evaporators may cause an operation failure, and an auxiliary 19 operation of the secondary evaporator in advance was necessary to make the primary liquid line filled with liquid. 20In the malfunction conversion mode, the simulated infrared detector had to be first shut down, but the time needed 21 for the backup CLHP to realize the supercritical startup became obviously shorter than that in the normal working 22 mode, because the primary evaporator of the backup CLHP was always in a cryogenic state. In the dual operation 23 mode, the two CLHPs could realize the supercritical startup simultaneously, but a temperature oscillation 24 phenomenon was observed, which can be eliminated by increasing the heat load applied to the secondary 25 evaporator. 26

Pool Boiling Heat Transfer on a Micro‐Structured Copper Oxide Surface with Varying Wettability

“…Surface modifications is one of the profound ways to enhance CHF in pool boiling [42]. Surface modification aims to change the surface properties like wettability [30,36,37,46,48,75], porosity [4,39] etc. that influence CHF and BHTC.…”
