Condensation, evaporation and boiling of falling films in wickless heat pipes (two-phase closed thermosyphons): A critical review of correlations

With the objective of estimating the thermal resistance of a two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT), the work presented is a state of the art of condensation and falling film evaporation/boiling correlations. A deep analysis of up-to-date reported equations dealing with falling film heat transfer is c...
