INVESTIGATION OF CONSTRAINTS IN THERMAL SIMILITUDE. VOLUME II.
Abstract
The studies described clarify the effects of some of the limitations imposed by the laws of thermal similitude, and determine the thermal modeling laws for a heat pipe. In Volume II the thermal modeling laws for a heat pipe were derived and experimentally verified. It was observed that prototype thermal behavior could be predicted, from model data, to within 10 F over the temperature range tested (140 to 330 F). Heat pipe failure due to capillary failure was also predictable to within plus or minus 10%. A flexible heat pipe was also designed and experimentally tested. Performance was not degraded under conditions of bending. (Author)
