Electrohydrodynamic pumping of vapour refrigerant bubbles in a Two-Phase natural circulation heat transport loop
Abstract
The objective of this work is to develop an enhanced two-phase thermal transport loop. In this work, an Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) device, namely an ion-drag pump is analyzed to enhance the performance of a Natural Circulation Loop (NCL). The benefit of these EHD devices is that they require no moving parts and substantial weight savings when compared with classical pumps. The enhancement can be twofold: 1) single-phase liquid pumping and 2) …
