TL;DR: In this article, an improved environmental control unit using in unitary combination a heat pipe as the heat source for the regeneration of the L-wheel is described, which is shown to be efficient, safe, easily controllable and self-adjustable.
Abstract: The application discloses an improved environmental control unit using in unitary combination a heat pipe as the heat source for the regeneration of the L-wheel The heat pipe contains sodium metal which is vaporized by heating one end of the pipe in a firebox remote from the environmental control unit The other end of the heat pipe extends into the heating section just upstream from the L-wheel There, the air passing over the heat pipe surface, which optionally may be finned, causes sodium vapor in the pipe to condense, thus giving up its latent heat of condensation to the air stream, heating it to a temperature sufficient to dry the wheel The improved heat pipe is efficient, safe, easily controllable and self-adjustable

TL;DR: In this article, a closed-loop pulsating heat pipe (PHP) was analyzed using a charge coupled device (CCD) and the authors observed that during the start-up period, the working fluid oscillates with large amplitude, however, at steady operating state, the fluid circulates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the dependence of thermal resistance on the thickness and particle size of sintered copper powder wick surfaces, both under evaporation and boiling conditions, and demonstrated that for a given wick thickness, an optimum particle size exists which maximizes the boiling heat transfer coefficient.
