Development of a blocking orifice thermal diode heat pipe

A new geometry is described for low temperature diode heat pipes employing excess liquid to block the vapor space of the evaporator and part of the transport section during reverse mode conditions. An orifice plate is placed in the pipe at the blocking meniscus location, with the opening arranged to permit proper liquid distribution in both ground tests and zero 'g' operation. Parametric analytical results are presented for several fluids (carbon tetrafluoride, methane, and ethane). Experimental data is presented for a room temperature diode verifying feasibility, and a 1/4 in. O.D. cryogenic diode with methane working fluid.

The dc arc characteristics in subsonic orifice nozzle flow

The cold air flow field for a 1/27 cm orifice nozzle was determined for subsonic flow velocities. In addition, d.c. arc voltage, current, and diameter measurements were made for a range of velocities and arc gaps. Average voltage gradients increased rapidly as an arc extinguishing velocity was approached. Measured values of current and diameter were used as an input for relaxation solution of an energy balance equation to compute radial temperature profiles. Calculated arc voltage gradients compare favorably with measured average voltage gradients.

Orifice calibration module

Module, consisting of transparent plastic cylinder containing separate suction and calibration chambers, allows static-pressure orifices to be calibrated, and rapidly checked for leaks. Device is compact, saves time, and improves accuracy, and reliability of pressure measurements.

Experiments on flow through one to four inlets of the orifice and Borda type

Choked flow rate and pressure profile data were taken on sequential axially aligned inlets of the orifice and Borda type. The configuration consisted of from two to four inlets spaced at two nominal separation distances of 0.7 and 30 diameters. At the nominal 30 diameter spacing, the reduced flow rate follows a simple empirical relation based on the reduced flow rate for a single inlet. At the nominal 0.7 diameter spacing, fluid jetting was prevalent at low temperatures and flow rates were the same as for a single inlet.

Studies of flows through N-sequential orifices

Critical mass flux and axial pressure profile data for fluid nitrogen are presented for N = 20, 15, 10, and 7 N-sequential orifice inlet configurations uniformly spaced at 15.5 cm. These data correlate well over a wide range in reduced temperature (0.7 T sub r,o ambient) and reduced pressure (to P sub r = 2) and are in general agreement with studies of one to four inlets and labyrinth seal gas data for 33 tooth equivalent sequential inlets. Experimental and theoretical agreement is good for liquid and gas critical mass flux.
