Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Investigations into the behavior of vapor-gas bubbles in artery channels have been conducted to analyze the capabilities of low-temperature increased-power heat pipes. A method for removing the bubbles from the artery system is suggested and experimentally confirmed.
