Abstract:An analytically based method is proposed to estimate the equivalent thermal diffusivity (α) of a heat pipe. This novel method, which enables real-time screening, features simple, fast, inexpensive and accurate characteristics in obtaining the corresponding α value. Different from the traditional Angstrom method, which uses a sinusoidal pulse heating source for measuring the offset of two separate waves triggered in an intermittent time span; the proposed method merely uses a water bath as the heating source wi… Show more
