The application of heat pipe for designing uniform temperature batch reactor

In the experimental investigation carried out, the performance of a two-phase closed thermo-siphon (heat pipe) with water as the working fluid for thermal control batch reactor was studied. And the effect of some operation variables such as time, input heat power, filling ratio and materials on the reactor temperature were studied. The experiments performed in the filling range of 30%-80% and input heat power between 200- 1200 watt and the temperature uniform in the reactor, heating time and Optimal filling ratio were studied. The results obtained in this research project were the consistency of the temperature inside the reactor and the optimal filling ratio. Also, the results of this experiment are useful in design, optimization of heat pipe and control of reactor temperature.
