註釋

A finite element formulation with linear triangular elements was used to solve the steady-state, two-dimensional conduction heat transfer equation in the condenser wall section of-an internally finned rotating heat pipe. A FORTRAN program using this method was coupled with the ADS program for automated design of the internal heat pipe fin geometry to optimize heat transfer. An increase in surface area, which increases heat transfer, also increases the condensate level, which decreases heat transfer. The additional condensate level does not offset the advantage gained by the increased surface area. The investigation provided combinations of fin half angle, number of fins, and fin height for an optimum design. Water in used as the working fluid and the heat pipe is constructed from copper.
