Modeling of transient heat pipe operationsAn analysis of the steady, compressible, one-dimensional, laminar flow of sodium vapor is presented for a case of a flat plate-type heat pipe with asymmetrical boundary conditions. In addition, shear stress at the liquid-vapor interface, variations of vapor quality, and momentum and energy factors are considered. A similarity solution for a semiporous channel is used to provide the velocity profile at cross sections.
