“…This is not taken into account in the thermal model in which the equivalent thermal conductivity of the porous medium is assumed to be constant. The hydrodynamic model is based on the Huang and Liu [15] model for a porous medium. It has been extended to take into account the vapour flow inside the MHP.…”

“…Indeed, it allows the spreading of heat in two directions and thus several electronic components placed anywhere on the same MHP can be cooled. Huang and Liu [15] have presented a 2D hydrodynamic model for the liquid flow in a flat plate heat pipe. This model has been modified by Qin and Liu [16] to take into account an anisotropic capillary structure.…”

“…The mass and heat transfers related to the liquid-vapor phase change define the thermal model's boundary conditions. We extended the hydrodynamic model proposed by Huang et al [3] for the FHP wick in order to determine the transient liquid flow. We developed a similar model to predict the vapor flow in the vapor core during FHP operations.…”

Heat at high temperatures, in this work 400-650˝C, can be recovered by use of cooling panels/heat pipes in the walls of aluminum electrolysis cells. For this application a flat vertical heat pipe for heat transfer from a unilateral heat source was analyzed theoretically and in the laboratory, with special emphasis on the performance of the wick. In this heat pipe a wick of compressed nickel foam covered only the evaporator surface, and potassium was used as the working fluid. The magnitudes of key thermal resistances were estimated analytically and compared. Operating temperatures and wick performance limits obtained experimentally were compared to predictions. Thermal deformation due to unilateral heat flux was analyzed by the use of COMSOL Multiphysics ® . The consequences of hot spots at different locations on the wick were analyzed by use of a numerical 2D model. A vertical rectangular wick was shown to be most vulnerable to hot spots at the upper corners.
