Curtailing noncondensables in steel heat pipes using a NaCr solution

Experiments were performed for investigation of the long term performance of mild-steel heat pipes. Working fluids were a NaCr solution in water, as well as water. The test period covered approximately 15,000 h. It is concluded that both types of heat pipes perform well; the performance of the heat...

Description
Summary:Experiments were performed for investigation of the long term performance of mild-steel heat pipes. Working fluids were a NaCr solution in water, as well as water. The test period covered approximately 15,000 h. It is concluded that both types of heat pipes perform well; the performance of the heat pipe containing the NaCr solution, however, is superior.
