Numerical Analysis and Comparison of Various Cross Sections of Heat Pipes in Heat Exchanger

The present work describes about numerical analysis of heat pipe with different cross sections such as L-shape, U- shape, wave and spring configurations. The effect of various configurations of heat pipe plate exchanger are examined by considering temperatures, velocities, pressure depressions. The numerical values of Reynolds number, Nusselt number, heat transfer were calculated at different velocities. The outcome of numerical analysis found that it influences fluid flow and pressure depression. Hence, the most important of the current exertion is to improve warmth transmit coefficient, which leads to enhance the efficacy of heat exchanger. Consequently, the present analysis is conceded for heat pipe among different shapes using hot and cold working fluids under Laminar and disorderly flow regimes at varied temperature and velocity conditions. Mathematical analysis presented and found that spring type heat pipe plate exchanger shows better heat transfer performance.
