CFD Analysis of Heat Pipe with Multiple Evaporators

The size of electronic devices are decreasing day by day and throwing challenges on thermal engineers to find and invent better means to challenge heat dissipation rates. This led to give rise to my idea of getting this work on Heat pipe. Heat pipes are promising means to drive the heat from the electronic devise to the environment without using mechanical devices to operate the flow in it. The factors effects the performance of Heat pipe are geometry design, number of evaporators and condensers, working fluid selection, by coating different coatings to increase adhesive nature between inner wall of pipe and working fluid etc.,In this thesis, Heat Pipe System with multiple evaporators will be designed and modelled in 3D modelling software Pro/Engineer. Heat transfer characteristics will be determined by CFD and transient thermal analysis. CFD analysis will be done to determine the heat transfer rate, pressure drop, mass flow rate, heat transfer coefficient with R134 and R410 as the working fluid. Transient thermal analysis will be done to determine heat transfer rate and temperature distribution
