Objective The project proposed is concerned with the development and manufacture of new high quality arterial grooved heat pipes (HP) for thermal stabilization of electronic devices operating under conditions of limited in-satellite space. The main task of the project is to develop new composite fiber-powder capillary structures (CS), the methods and novel technology for preparation of precision porous structures, namely layered, gradient and heteroporous with the aim to improve their performance. Further, to study hydrodynamic physical and mechanical properties of HP with different porous structure, to determine their thermohydraulic characteristics, namely coefficient of thermal resistance, thermal flux transferred and dynamics at start-up and finally to optimize the ratio of fiber -to- powder components of the porous structure. Novel technology, the results of tests and simulation will allow to propose and manufacture the HPs for operation under conditions of microgravitation.
