Abstract
This paper is to investigate the onset of motion and steady-state flow s of cold water in a parallel loops thermosyphon. The results show tha t increase the value of temperature parameter of density inversion, TH ETA(m) will increase the magnitude of the onset critical Rayleigh numb er, Rac, and reduce the velocity of steady flow. They also reveal that the system will always be kept in rest state when THETA(m)>0.5.
