Organization of heat in industrial and residential
applications is becoming more and more important as we
attempt to improve the efficient use of energy. Heat transfer
fluids have been an integral part of this process for many
years. Presently, one of the most intensively discussed
options is the usage of high heat carrying fluids. The high
thermal conductivity of these fluid leads to an increased
overall heat carrying capacity of TPCT.
The TPCT is an efficient heat transfer device due to their
high heat transfer capabilities with no exterior power
requirement. It transfers a large amount of heat with very
small temperature difference. It is vertically oriented with
liquid pool at bottom. Heat is given to evaporator section and
vapour forms rises up to the condenser section where it
condense heat to the surrounding and return to the evaporator
section along with the tube wall due to gravitational force.
The main benefit of TPCT is that it requires no mechanical
pumping and which makes it inexpensive and reliable. Hence
it is widely used because of its simple structure when
compared to other types of heat exchangers. TPCT are being
used in many applications such as heat exchangers, cooling of
electronic components, solar energy conversion systems,
spacecraft thermal control, cooling of gas turbine rotor
blades,
