Engineering workflow
From system inputs
to prototype tests.
Define the system
Geometry, heat loads, materials, working fluids and boundary conditions establish the model.
Evaluate the alternatives
Examine design sensitivities, transient behavior and component interactions to identify promising architectures.
Test the selected design
Compare predictions with controlled measurements and establish the application-specific operating envelope.
Published validation
Comparison with
experimental data.
Our published thermosyphon work compares simulation with independent Nokia Bell Labs measurements and prototype experiments. Validation applies to the systems and conditions studied.
