Abstract

Numerical analysis of thermal conditions for a two-phase closed thermosyphon using the ANSYS FLUENT software package has been carried out. The characteristic temperature distribution, streamlines and velocity vectors for various heat loads have been obtained. The study has found the possibility of using the software package for analysis of the energy transfer processes at high thermal loads.
