Abstract
ABSTRACT This study employs a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package to obtain a two-phase three-dimensional flow field and conjugate heat transfer results for a disk-shape miniature heat pipe (DMHP) that is used to dissipate heat from a laser diode. A mixture model is introduced into the governing equations for calculating the quality of mixture in the two-phase flow field. Predicted thermal resistances are presented at three different fluid charge volumes of 18%, 55%, and 92% at different heating powers of the laser diode. The predicted thermal resistance of the DMHP agrees well with measured results given in our previous study [1].
