摘要：A study on the operation of a heat pipe with two heat sources has been performed to optimize the heat distribution of satellite equipment. A numerical modeling is used to predict the temperature profile for the heat pipe assuming cylindrical two-dimensional laminar flow for the vapor, and the conduction heat transfer for the wall and wick. An experimental study using the copper-water heat pipe with the length of 0.45 m has been performed to evaluate the numerical model and to compare the temperature distribution at the outer wall for the non-uniform heat distribution. The results on temperature profiles for the heat input range from 29 W to 47 W on each heater are presented. Also the correlation between the heat input and the temperature increase is presented for the optimum distribution on two heaters. The result shows that the outer wall temperature can be controlled by redistribution of heat sources. It is also concluded that the heat source closer to the condenser can carry more heat while maintaining lower temperatures at the outer wall.
