Abstract

Abstract An analytical approach has been employed to study liquid flows in an isotropic wick structure of a flat plate heat pipe with multiple heat sources so as to determine the optimum heat pipe performance. In this study, the heat sources have been modeled as point sources using the Dirac Delta function to describe the heat distribution. The two dimensional pressure and velocity distribution are shown and discussed. The study has been extended to locate the positions of the multiple heat sources for optimum heat pipe performance. The optimum performance of the heat pipe is accomplished when the minimum pressure drop is attained across the wick structure.
