Kc. Leong et al., VAPOR-PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION OF A FLAT-PLATE HEAT-PIPE, International communications in heat and mass transfer, 23(6), 1996, pp. 789-797
The vapor pressure distributions of an asymmetric vapor now of a flat
plate heat pipe were calculated using the concept of suction and injec
tion principle. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical flow conditions were
considered. Comparisons were made with existing results. The agreemen
t was reasonably good.
