摘要:
Sodium-potassium alloy (Na-K), which is liquid at room temperature and pressure, is a promising working fluid for high-temperature heat pipes. Although several researches have been performed over the past decades, the experimental data for Na-K thermosyphons, especially for Na-K (wt. 55% K), was limited and needed. This study is to use Na-K (wt. 55% K) as working fluid to fabricate a high-temperature thermosyphon. The outside wall temperatures were measured to estimate the heat transfer performance of the fabricated thermosyphon by using 10 thermocouples, which were made of 0.2 mm-diameter Ni-Cr and Ni-Al wires. The thermal characteristics of the Na-K thermosyphon were studied at various heating temperatures (650, 675, 700, 725, 750, 775, 800, 825, 850 and 875 degrees C), condenser lengths (0.250, 0.220, and 0.190 m) and inclination angles (0 degrees and 50 degrees) to determine the influence of working conditions. Those factors considerably affected the heat transfer performance of the Na-K thermosyphon.
