NUMERICAL ANALYSIS ON HEAT TRANSFER WITH FLOW AND PHASE CHANGE IN THE FLAT PLATE EVAPORATOR OF A CAPILLARY PUMPED LOOP
A two-dimensional numerical model for the small-scale flat plate CPL evaporator is presented, which included liquid and vapor flow, heat transfer and phase change in the porous wick structure, heat transfer and flow in the compensation cavity and heat transfer in vapor grooves and metal wall. The entire evaporator was solved with SIMPLE algorithm as a conjugate problem. The side wall effect working limit for the small scale flat plate CPL is introduced. The influences of heat fluxes, metal wall material and liquid subcooling on the evaporator performance are discussed in detailed.
