ABSTRACT

We present the results of experimental investigation of heat transfer in propane pool boiling on single horizontal stainless steel plane pipes and pipes with porous coating produced by electric arc gas-thermal spraying. We also studied the loop heat pipe evaporator wick structure made from aluminum oxide ceramic with heat generation inside the wick. Experiments were carried out at the saturation temperature T_s = +40°C (p* = p/p_c = 0.081−0.323) in the range of heat loads q = 0.1−100 kW/m² for tubes and T_s = 30°C (p* = p/p_c = 0.254), q = 0.02−8 kW/m² for the loop heat pipe evaporator.
