Abstract

A heat transfer apparatus, known as a heat pipe (HP), offers distinct advantages, primarily in its exceptional thermal efficiency for heat transfer. HP is used to transfer heat over long distances with minimal temperature change. Before executing HP in the real-life applications of such HT devices, the principal step exhibited in the HP is the numerical simulation. It has the potential to yield efficient outcomes in terms of both time and cost dynamics. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and challenges identified in HP through the use of numerical modeling, analysis, and experimental simulations. At first, the classification like two-phase closed thermosyphon, annular, loop, pulsating, micro- and miniature, vapor chamber, variable conductance and sorption-based HP are discussed with governing equations, boundary conditions and assumptions. This review also explores numerous approaches for simulating the analytical model of high-performance (HP) systems. By then, the fluid flow modeling in the HP is discussed. At last, the critical challenges exhibited in the extensive application of HP is studied for future work.
