Abstract:
The approach to utilization of software HEAT'90 to thermal simulation of heat pipes and units of their connections with elements of thermal control systems is presented. The application of finite elements method for solution of problems, interactive regime of functioning "software-user" allow to simulate enough complicated 2-D constructions and transfer processes by user without special program language knowledge and training. The examples of software employment are discussed as follows: efficiency of flange unit in heat pipe input/output zones; influence of dried grooves presence on temperature field in cross- section; distribution along pipe length; efficiency of unit "heat pipe-honeycomb radiator" and others. The main development of software for elements of thermal control systems design application are shown
