Abstract

A mathematical model of Oscillating Heat Pipes (OHPs) with check valves has been constructed. The mathematical model was a one-dimensional slug flow model. Movement of liquid slugs was governed by pressure differences among vapor plugs and by pressure drops in the tubes. Check valves were reproduced by change of liquid slug's momentum. As a result, check valves caused the circulation flow in OHP.
