Cold end
Hot end
Inside the system, there is a fluid (usually termed refrigerant) Hot end
Heat is transferred as latent heat of evaporation which means that the fluid inside the system is continuously changing phase from liquid to gas. The fluid is evaporating at the hot end, thereby absorbing heat from the component. At the cold end, the fluid is condensed and the heat is dissipated to a heat sink (usually ambient air).
Heat pipes
Heat pipes
In Heat Pipes, capillary forces in the wick ensures the liquid return from the hot end to the cold end. This means that a Heat Pipe can operate independent of gravity. The heat pipe was actually developed for zero gravity (i.e. space) applications.

Immersion cooling
Thermosyphon is a circulating fluid system whose motion is caused by density difference in a body force field which result from heat transfer. Thermosyphon can be categorized according to:
1. 2. 3. 4. The nature of boundaries (Is the system open or closed to mass flow) The regime of heat transfer (convection, boiling or both) The number of type of phases present (single- or two-phase state) The nature of the body force (is it gravitational or rotational)
All thermosyphon systems removes heat from prescribed source and transporting heat and mass over a specific path and rejecting the heat or mass to a prescribed sink.
Open Thermosyphon:
Single-phase, naturalconvection open system in the form of a tube open at the top and closed at the bottom. For open thermosyphon Nua=C1Raam(a/L)C2, Nua=(ha)/k a: based on radius

Two distinct advantages make the closed-loop thermosyphon profitable to study: Natural geometric configuration which can be found or created in many industrial situation. It avoid the entry choking or mixing that occurs in the pipe thermosyphon For single phase loop: NuL=0.245(GrPr2L/d)0.5 can be used
Two-phase thermosyphon
1. 2. 3. 4.
The advantages of operating two-phase thermosyphons are: 1. The ability to dissipate high heat fluxes due to the latent heat of evaporation and condensation 2. The much lower temperature gradients associated with these process. 3. Reduced weight and volume with smaller heat transfer area compared to other systems.
At least two different mechanisms behind flow boiling heat transfer: convective and nucleate boiling heat transfer. General accepted that the convective boiling increases along a tube with increasing vapor fraction and mass flux. Increasing convective boiling reduces the wall superheat and suppresses the nucleate boiling. When heat transfer increases with heat flux with almost constant vapor fraction and mass flux, the nucleate boiling dominates the flow boiling process. Due to the fact that the mechanism of convective and nucleate boiling can coexist, a good procedure for calculating flow boiling must have both elements.
all heat transfer correlations can be divided into three basic models: 1) Superposition model 2) Enhancement model 3) Asymptotic model In the superposition model, the two contributions are simply added to each other, while in the enhancement model the contribution of nucleate and convective boiling are multiplied to obtain a single-phase model. In the asymptotic model the two mechanisms are respectively dominant in opposite regions. The local heat transfer coefficient as sum of the two n contributions htp = h n + h n = (EhL )n + (F hnb )n cb b Where n is an asymptotic factor equal to 1 for the superposition model and above 1 for the asymptotic model
With larger n, the htp is implying more asymptotic behavior in the respectively dominant region. hL and hnb are the heat transfer coefficients for one-phase liquid flow and pool boiling respectively. E and F are enhancement and suppression factors. Chen, Gungor-Winterton [1986] and Jungs correlations are based on superposition model. Shah, Kandlikar and Gungor-Wintertons [1987] correlations are based on enhancement model. Liu-Winterton, Steiner-Taborek and VDI-Wrmeatlas are based on asymptotic model.
Lazarek-Black, Tran and Crnwell-Kew have developed heat transfer correlations for small diameter channel. Coopers pool boiling correlation or Liu-Wintertons flow boiling correlation can be used for heat transfer coefficient in an advanced closed two-phase flow thermosyphon loop.

Heat transfer depends on pressure level, vapor fraction, flow rate, geometry of evaporator and thermal properties of refrigerant. The influence of pressure level, choice of working fluid, geometry of evaporator, pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient, critical heat flux and overall thermal resistance were investigated during the present project.
For turbulent singlephase we can derive pressure drop as: For a certain tube length, diameter and cooling capacity, the pressure drop is a function of viscosity, density and heat of vaporization.

Fig. shows ratio of viscosity to density and heat of vaporization vs. Saturated pressure, we find that the general trend is decreasing pressure drop with increasing pressure and decreasing molcular weights.

In immersion boiling FC fluids have been used FC fluids generally have poor heat transfer properties: -Low thermal conductivity
-Low specific heat -Low heat of vaporization -Low surface tension -Low critical heat flux -Large temperature overshoot at boiling incipience
The picture shows heat flux vs. temperature difference between inside wall temperature and refrigerant. As can be seen, the temperature difference increases with increasing heat flux, but with different slopes, depending on the saturation pressure in the system As the heat transfer coefficient is the heat flux divided by the temp. difference, this indicates higher heat transfer coefficient with increasing pressure

The Fig. shows, heat transfer coeff. vs. reduced pressure for 110 W heat input to each one of the evaporators. The dependence of heat transfer coefficient on reduced pressure are often expressed in the form of h=f (prm), in which m is generally between 0.2-0.35. In the present case, m=0.317, correlates the experimental data well for the smooth tube with Isobutane as refrigerant.

Heat transfer coefficients and CHF can be expected to Increase with increasing reduced pressure and with decreasing molecular weight The effects of pressure, and threaded surface on heat transfer coefficient have been investigated. The pressure level has a significant effect on heat transfer coefficient. h=f (prm) m=0.317 h=f (qn) where n=0.57
Conclusion
Heat transfer coefficient can be improved by using threaded surfaces. Heat transfer coefficient at a given heat flux is more than three times larger at the reduced pressure 0.3 than 0.02 on threaded surfaces. The experimental heat transfer coefficients are in relatively good agreement with Coopers Pool boiling and Liu-Wintertons correlations.
Conclusion
The effects of pressure, mass flow, vapor quality, and enhanced surface on CHF have been investigated. Threaded surface has a minor effect on CHF. The pressure level has a significant effect on CHF. The CHF can be increased by using a higher pressure. The influence of diameter on the heat transfer coefficients for these small diameter channels was found to be small and no clear trends could be seen.

In design of a compact two-phase thermosyphon system, the dimensions of connecting tubing and evaporator, affects the packaging and thermal performance of the system. The pressure drop is a limiting factor for small tubing diameter and compact evaporator design. By determining the magnitude of pressure drops at different parts of a thermosyphon, it may be possible to reduce the most critical one, therby optimizing the performance of the thermosyphon system.
