Flow Visualisation in a Transparent Thermosyphon: Influence of Internal Pressure
Abstract
Heat pipes and thermosyphons are generally recognized as a reliable heat transfer device for many different applications however clarity is needed to describe the thermal mechanisms driving the transfer of heat. This experiment involved the construction and testing of a transparent, sapphire thermosyphon, with water as the working fluid. Through high speed imagery and corresponding temperature and pressure measurements, the dominant mechanisms …
