Heat Pipe Science and Technology

Written to cover simple, intermediate and advanced approaches to the theoretical and experimental analysis of heat pipe science, this book emphasises both the physical significance and mathematical manipulations as well as the technological and experimental issues related to this technology. It also makes a thorough presentation of the basic and advanced techniques for analysing various heat pipe systems under a variety of operating conditions and limitations. This includes theory, design, manufacturing and applications.; The subject of heat pipe sciences is of importance in a large variety of traditional engineering disciplines. Heat pipe science also provides the opportunity to apply a variety of complex physical phenomena and fundamental laws in the thermal fluids area to a relatively simple system such as the heat pipe. This includes forced laminar and turbulent convective heat and mass transfer, unsteady flow, phase-change phenomena, boiling, condensation and evaporation, two-phase flow, rotating flows, thin films compressibility, flow in porous media, rarefied gases, interfacial heat and mass transfer, magneto-hydrodynamic flows, and conjugate heat transfer effects.Faghri, Amir is the author of 'Heat Pipe Science and Technology' with ISBN 9781560323839 and ISBN 1560323833.
