Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The authors present results of an experimental investigation of vapor flow hydrodynamics under positive pressure gradient conditions leading to boundary layer separation and the occurrence of a reverse vortex flow region of vapor in the condensation zone of a planar heat pipe. The influence of a noncondensible gas on heat and mass transfer and the configuration of the vapor gas front is examined.
