Numerical study of the pressure and temperature changing ofthe porous wick in capillary pumped loop evaporator;

The numerical model for the small-scale fiat capillary pumped loop(CPL)evaporator is presented,which includes liquid and vapor flow,heat transfer and phase change in the porous wick structure and heat transfer in the fluid region and metallic wall,and the entire evaporator is solved with SIMPLE algorithm as a conjugate problem.

The influence of temperature difference between upper surface and bottom surface of wick structure on startup process of the small-scale flat capillary pumped loop evaporator is analyzed,and the unsteady heat transfer model of evaporator in the fully-flooded startup stage is presented.
