Heat Pipe Design and Analysis
Heat Pipe Design and Analysis
(OP)
Hello,
Does anyone have information on courses targeting design of heat pipes. I have read some books on the subject but would like "hands on" training as well. My goal is to be able to design a heat pipe and provide a manufacturer with the specs to build it. I do not want to provide the manufacturer with system information and have them design the heat pipe due to NDA issues.

RE: Heat Pipe Design and Analysis
After 1990, much of the commercial interest had petered out due to the failure of a heat pipe primary air heater .
Other issues not often discussed- for many of these heat pipes, the fluid sealed inside can be considered toxic or hazardous, and a fialure of the tubing during shipment can lead to enormous cleanup costs and penalties.

Unless you're an expert at designing and fabricating heat pipes, what you design will most likely be suboptimal, and expensive. Additionally, when it doesn't work the way you expected, the manufacturer will have absolutely no interest in troubleshooting your problem.
