A REVIEW ON PULSATING HEAT PIPES: LATEST RESEARCH, APPLICATIONS AND FUTURE SCOPE

Heat pipes have become popular as passive heat dissipation devices for many applications ranging from electronics to recovery in recent years. Pulsating Pipe abbreviated PHP is an exclusive category of a pipe which does wick structure. It transfers between its evaporator and condenser sections due the fro movement working fluid caused continuous change phase taking place it. Its operation involves combined hydrodynamic thermodynamic effects causing two-phase flow, making it difficult fully understand Nevertheless, PHPs drawn attention investigators worldwide their simplicity construction wide range requiring high flux transfer. This review starts with prologue attempts made by various explain through mathematical modeling. Later numerical simulations Computational Fluid Dynamics performed been discussed. Review latest experimental investigations on PHPs, presented concisely tabular form. Novel concepts like application nanofluids, magnetic field surfactant, applied enhancing performance At end, future scope
