...Haijun Mo; Hang Zhao; Xiaowu Wang; Rui Cao; Zhenping Wan; Sulian Tao A kind of stainless-steel heat pipe with sintered fiber wick is investigated with the aim to improve the heat dissipation when it is used in spent fuel pools in nuclear power plants. The effects of test angle, porosity...

... the effects of wavelength (λ), porosity (ξ), and height (H) of the sinusoidal wave of the insert as well as the Reynolds number (Re) on the friction factors (f) and Nusselt numbers (Nu). Twelve inserts are formed from the flat metal mesh screens for testing between the Reynolds number (Re) of 400 and 35,000...

...., 0.00%, 0.08%, 0.10%, 0.12%, and 0.30%) were dispersed into bio-based PCM (i.e., coconut oil) to synthesize nano-PCMs. Open-cell aluminum foams of different porosities (i.e., 0.96, 0.92, and 0.88) and pore densities (i.e., 5, 10, and 20 pores per inch (PPI)) were considered. An experimental setup...

... dimensionless parameters: the conductive thermal resistance ratio and the porosity. After validation of the method by comparison of our results with those from both the literature studies and the numerical simulation, a parametric study is carried out to show the influence of the dimensionless parameters...
