Condensation in grooved heat pipes involves several simultaneous phenomena including vapor-liquid boundaries whose shapes are unknown a priori, fluid flow due to capillary and dispersion pressure gradients and condensation over ultra thin films. In grooved heat pipes, the majority of condensation occurs on fin tops due to the thinner liquid film, having a lower thermal resistance, compared to inside the groove where the fluid is substantially thicker. Majority of the studies in the literature assume an approximate profile for the liquid film surface and apply an integral balance for conservation laws, including the effect of the capillary pressure only. In addition, this approximate profile is matched with the liquid profile inside the groove, which serves as a boundary condition. In the current study, the effect of a slope dependent disjoining pressure and the matching conditions with the groove are investigated using a comprehensive model. The results suggest that for small temperature differences and small slopes, the effect of dispersion pressure is non negligible and beyond limiting values of edge slope angles, the disjoining effect precludes solutions where the fin top film matches the groove in a smooth transition. In addition bifurcation manner is found for the results. Their physical availability is examined in this study. This analysis results suggested that the second set of answers which is found because of bifurcation, despite its mathematical validity, could not be physically valid.

Limitations of Matching Condensing Film Profile on a Micro Fin with the Groove: Critical Effect of Disjoining Pressure
Alipour, Mobin; Dursunkaya, Zafer (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-28)
Condensation on a fin top terminating with a groove involves several simultaneous phenomena including vapor-liquid boundaries whose shapes are unknown a priori, fluid flow due to capillary and disjoining pressure gradients, and condensation over thin films. This problem occurs in grooved heat pipes, where the condensation is predominantly present on fin tops due to the thinner liquid film - having a lower thermal resistance compared to inside the groove where the fluid is substantially thicker.

Thermal stimulation of aqueous volumes contained in carbon nanotubes: Experiment and modeling
Yarin, AL; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Megaridis, CM (2005-01-01)
The dynamic response, as caused by thermal stimulation, of aqueous liquid attoliter volumes contained inside multiwall carbon nanotubes is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The experiments indicate an energetically driven mechanism responsible for the dynamic multiphase fluid behavior visualized under high resolution in the transmission electron microscope. The theoretical model is formulated using a continuum approach, which combines temperature-dependent diffusion with intermolecular interact...
Thermal stresses in elastic-plastic tubes with temperature-dependent mechanical and thermal properties
Orcan, Y; Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2001-11-01)
The thermoelastic-plastic deformations of internal heat-generating tubes are investigated by considering the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient, Young's modulus, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the yield limit of the material. A model describing the elastic-plastic behavior of the tube is developed. The model consists of a system of two second-order ordinary differential equations and a first-order ordinary differential equation involving nonlinear temperature-dependent...
Gradient-based optimization of micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver geometry and flow rate
Akba, Tufan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Mengüç, M. Pınar (2023-02-01)
This study focuses on the design optimization of a micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver by changing geometry and flow rate constrained by the volume, outlet air temperature, and outer surface temperature. The pressurized volumetric receiver model is replicated from an existing model, which assumes constant air pressure and neglects the convection loss from the cavity. The existing model is revised from a solver to a design optimizer. The replicated model is restructured using OpenMDAO (Open-source Mu...
