Heat pipe theory and practice: a sourcebook
An introduction to heat pipe operating principles, types, and applications followed by a comprehensive treatment of heat pipe theory, design, and manufacture are presented. The organization of heat pipe theory provides parallel treatment of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and materials science during heat pipe analysis. For the problem-solving convenience of practicing engineers, design procedures are developed summarizing theoretical information. Methods of summarizing voluminous research information are presented in detail. Current practices in the manufacture of heat pipes are described. Current and potential applications of the heat pipe to energy systems discussed are: heat exchangers, heat recovery for HVAC systems, residential buildings, industrial processes, gasification plants, and thermal storage subsystems.
