Abstract:-

Closed loop pulsating heat pipe (CLPHP) are heat transfer devices having thermo hydrodynamic coupling governing the internal performance. A wide range of necessary characterization has been done for the internal diameter, number of turns, working fluid, and inclination angle of the device. The working fluid employed is Titanium oxide nanofluid. Silver coating is done on Evaporator and Condenser section to improve the heat transfer rate. The objective of this experiment is to increase the heat transfer rate of CLPHP and to find out the thermal performance of CLPHP.

Index Terms:-

Heat pipe, Nano Fluid, Titanium Oxide.
