Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

Starting from the solution of a two-dimensional heat conduction problem, a mathematical model of a heat pipe-based radiative heat exchanger is developed. Good agreement between the predicted and experimental results is obtained. The effect of operational and structural parameters on the characteristics of the radiative heat exchanger is analyzed.
