Capillary liquid evaporation from wick covered plates: theory (open access)

Capillary liquid evaporation from wick covered plates: theory

Differential equations and associated parameters are derived for heat transfer to a thin liquid-saturated wick, as in the evaporator section of a ''heat pipe.'' Prescribed are a numerical method of solution and a procedure for experimental measurements of heat transfer in the flat plate model. This effort is a part of the Project CLEER program which is currently sponsored by the Mechanical Engineering Department research account.
