Mathematical modeling of closed-End pulsating heat pipes pperating with a bottom heat mode

The mathematical model of a closed-end pulsating heat pipe (CEPHP) with a bottom heat mode at different inclination angles was constructed. The closed-end pulsating heat pipe was modeled with specified assumptions that were observed visually (i.e., the scaling factor for geometrical size and the fre...

description The mathematical model of a closed-end pulsating heat pipe (CEPHP) with a bottom heat mode at different inclination angles was constructed.
