Investigation of Heat Pipe Technology for Naval Applications.

Abstract

A survey of heat pipe theory, applications and developments has been carried out with particular reference to long heat pipes. Applications in Naval operations where the heat pipe technology could be profitably employed are pointed out. Recommendations are made to design and test a long heat pipe in the laboratory with a view to applying the technology in improving equipment operation and reliability, reducing maintenance or component replacement, reducing cost of operation, or permitting designs which otherwise might not be feasible.
