Abstract:In this study, thermal performance of MPHP is investigated computationally. A case with 0.7mm hydraulic diameter with 7 turns is considered for the study. Simulation is carried out using ANSYS-FLUENT® software by considering water as working fluid with the help of VOF model. Computational study shows the oscillation of fluid inside and formation of new vapor slugs. The heat input is varied from 1.2 W to 4.8 W in the step of 1.2. Flow circulation inside the MPHP is not unidirectional and frequently changes with… Show more
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.
