F151 Physical Model for the Operating Limit of an Intermittent Heat Transporting Loop

Abstract

The effect of the non-condensing vapor bypass flow and the amount of the working liquid was experimentally investigated on the operating limit of the originally proposed method for heat transportation by utilizing the intermittent discharge of the accumulated high-pressure vapor. The analytical result for finding the condition at the occurrence of the operating limit was shown by taking a proposed physical model into account. The condition could be estimated quantitatively by using a proposed new non-dimensional parameter.
