چکیده
The two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) or wickless heat pipe has been widely considered as an extremely effective and low-cost removal device for various applications. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigation of the TPCT can provide detailed information regarding its design development. In this study, effect non-uniform heat-input profiles on a vertical investigated. CFD model built to simulate evaporation condensation processes within investigated, using solver based OpenFOAM which modified validated against experimental data reported in open literature. Four heating have effects these internal flow field are discussed. Simulation results show that flux impact thermal performance depending overall loading profile.
