Selection of Working Fluid
DOI 10.1615/hedhme.a.000314
3.10.5 Selection of working fluid
D. Mishkinis
The selection of the working fluid of a Heat Pipe should be made according to the following criteria:
- Freezing, boiling and critical points in must be consistent with the operating temperature range.
- High liquid and vapor densities and high latent heat of vaporization are desirable in order to transfer large amounts of heat with a minimum fluid flow.
- A high value of surface tension is desirable in order to provide satisfactory capillary pumping, to enable the operation against gravity and generate a high capillary driving force.
- Low vapor and liquid viscosities mean less friction among the fluid molecules, so that the resistance to fluid flow will be minimized.
- High thermal conductivity to aid heat transfer between fluid, wall and wick.
- Good wetting characteristics (small contact angle) to provide satisfactory capillary pumping.
- Compatibility in relation to corrosion and non condensable gas formation with container wall and wick.
- Chemical stability.
- Environmental acceptability (need to avoid CFC’s).
- Safety: toxicity or health hazard, flammability and reactivity risks.
- Available and inexpensive in high-purity (chemical grade) state.
- Fulfillment of other special requirements defined by the Heat Pipe application.
It is useful to define a fluid property group that known as the liquid figure of merit (Chi, 1976) as follows:
\[\label{eq1}N_l=\frac{\rho_l\cdot\Delta h_v\cdot\sigma}{\eta_l}\tag{1}\]
