Özet

A rectangular thermosyphon loop is analyzed parametrically using a numerical technique in this study. A two-dimensional model with uniform wall temperature through heated and cooled sections of the thermosyphon is developed and the numerical results are obtained by solving the continuity, momentum and energy equations through the SIMPLEX Algorithm for laminar flow case. Thermal behavior of the thermosyphon loop concerned with Prandtl and Grashof numbers, and the elevation difference between the heat transfer sections is investigated numerically.
