Analysis of a Vertical Flat Heat Pipe Using Potassium Working Fluid and a Wick of Compressed Nickel Foam
Heat at high temperatures, in this work 400–650 °C, can be recovered by use of cooling panels/heat pipes in the walls of aluminum electrolysis cells. For this application a flat vertical heat pipe for heat transfer from a unilateral heat source was analyzed theoretically and in the laboratory, with...
