The capillary limit of heat transport in the bent micro-grooved heat pipes was analyzed in the vapor pressure drop,the liquid pressure drop and the interaction of the vapor with wick fluid. The bent heat pipes were fabricated and tested from the bending angle,the bending position and the bending radius. The results show that temperature difference and thermal resistance increase while the heat transfer capacity of the heat pipe decreases,with the increase of the bending angles and the bending position closer to the vapor section. However,the effects of bending radius can be ignored. The result agrees well with the predicted equations.展开更多

The tube with namely （15, 0） BN zigzag tube is investigated. The critical bending buckling angle, moment and curvature are studied and examined with respect to the tube length-diameter ratios from 5 to 30. Effects of a SW （Stone-Wales） defect in the middle tube on the bending behavior are also discussed. The results show that the tube length affects significantly the bending behavior of these tubes. All tubes exhibit brittle fracture under bending. The buckling takes place at the middle in the compressive side of these tubes. These results are important information on the buckling behaviors of pristine and Stone-Wales BN nanotubes, which will be useful for their future applications.展开更多

In the present paper, the effect of a curved duct upstream on performance of small centrifugal compressors for automobile turbochargers is discussed. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a turbocharger compressor validated for the compressor model with the straight pipe applied to the compressor with the curved pipe are executed, and the deterioration of the performance for the curved pipe is confirmed. It is also found that the deterioration of compressor performance is caused by the interaction of the secondary flow and the impeller.展开更多
