Email this article A Review of Nanofluid Boiling Heat Transfer and Its Applications in Heat Pipes
Abstract
Nanofluid is a new type of heat transfer medium formed by adding metal or non-metal in liquid medium in a certain proportion and manner, which has many advantages over the traditional working fluid. Combining heat pipes with nanofluids and using nanofluids as the working material of heat pipes can reduce thermal resistance and effectively improve the heat transfer performance of heat pipes. This paper provides a relevant overview of heat pipes and nanofluids, and introduces the relevant classifications of heat pipes, the working principle and the relevant research on nanofluid-enhanced boiling heat transfer. It conducts a literature review on the application of nanofluids in heat pipes, and finally proposes possible future research directions.
