Mathematical Modeling of Hydrodynamic and Heat Transfer in a Two-Phase Thermosyphon

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents the solution results of conjugate forced convection boundary value problem in a typical rectangular cross-section thermosyphon. The influence of convective heat exchange at the external top horizontal boundary on the heat transfer intensity in such energy removing device is shown. It is found that temperature distributions in thermosyphon steam channel to the Y direction obtain monotonous character with increasing heat exchange coefficient to the environment.
