In this paper, Optimization design of heat pipe exchanger (HPHX) is processed utilizing the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The response surface model was built by regressive analysis using Latin hypercube experimental method and numerical simulation. Through analysis, it found that two input variables affecting performance HPHX are pitch Inlet outlet distance. Moreover, maximum value overa...

Given the rapid progress in the electronics industry, the thermal management of electronics components becomes an important and serious issue. Natural and forced cooling are often deficient. One possibility for heat dissipation for high heat flux is using loop heat pipe. A loop heat pipe (LHP) is a two-phase device with extremely high effective thermal conductivity that utilizes pressure differ...

An experimental study of heat transfer characteristics with and without insert was found using water –water system on 1-2 pass shell and tube heat exchanger. Experimental results such as exchanger effectiveness, overall heat transfer coefficient were calculated using with and without insert. There is improvement in overall heat coefficient, efficiency in using twisted tape. In all the process i...

the use of solar collectors in combination with heat pipes is rapidly growing in recent years.heat pipes, as heat transfer components, have undeniable advantages in comparison with other alternatives. the most important advantage is their high rate of heat transfer at minor temperature differences. although there have been numerous studies on the heat analysis or first thermodynamic analysis of...

Customarily, the LMTD correction factor, FT, is used to screen alternative designs for a heat exchanger. Designs with unacceptably low FT values are discarded. In this paper, authors have proposed a more fundamental criterion, based on feasibility of a multipass exchanger as the only criteria, followed by economic optimization. This criterion, coupled with asymptotic energy targets, provide the...
