--- res: bibo_abstract: - This paper presents a numerical study of a Capillary Pumped Loop evaporator. A two-dimensional unsteady mathematical model of a flat evaporator is developed to simulate heat and mass transfer in unsaturated porous wick with phase change. The liquid-vapor phase change inside the porous wick is described by Langmuir's law. The governing equations are solved by the Finite Element Method. The results are presented then for a sintered nickel wick and methanol as a working fluid. The heat flux required to the transition from the all-liquid wick to the vapor-liquid wick is calculated. The dynamic and thermodynamic behavior of the working fluid in the capillary structure are discussed in this paper.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Riadh foaf_name: Boubaker, Riadh foaf_surname: Boubaker - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Vincent foaf_name: Platel, Vincent foaf_surname: Platel - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alexis foaf_name: Bergès, Alexis foaf_surname: Bergès - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Mathieu foaf_name: Bancelin, Mathieu foaf_surname: Bancelin - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Edouard B foaf_name: Hannezo, Edouard B foaf_surname: Hannezo foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=3A9DB764-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-6005-1561 bibo_doi: 10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2014.10.009 bibo_volume: 76 dct_date: 2015^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Elsevier@ dct_title: Dynamic model of heat and mass transfer in an unsaturated porous wick of capillary pumped loop@ ...
