HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF A CLOSED LOOP ROTATING THERMOSYPHON
摘要
A thermosyphon may be defined as a fluid system
where circulation of the fluid occurs due to the presence
of temperature gradients and the simultaneous action of a
body force. Whereas one usually associates a body force
as being due to the earth's gravitational field, the
centrifugal and Coriolis forces acting on a rotating body
may, in the case of a thermosyphon, also promote
circulation of the fluid. Under these circumstances it is
shown that the thermosyphon may have desirable features
for the cool ing of certain rotating components.
