Non-Contact Monitoring on the Flow Status inside a Pulsating Heat Pipe

The paper presents a concept of thermal-to-electrical energy conversion by using the oscillatory motion of magnetic fluid slugs which has potential to be applied in the field of sensors. A pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is introduced to produce vapor-magnetic fluid plug–slug flow in a snake-shaped capill...
