Project description
Better heat management is on the horizon for new hybrid aircraft propulsion systems
Mechanical and electrical devices generate heat. Because the heat can impair the functioning of the systems over time, most systems have thermal management built in. Pulsating heat pipes (PHP) are an emerging technology with many advantages. They can rapidly transfer heat between source and sink, accommodate materials, shapes and sizes not accessible with conventional heat pipes, and they are very stable and low-weight. However, in-depth understanding of their functioning to support rational design is limited. The EU-funded PHP2 project is developing a detailed simulation code to support new PHP designs. A prototype will enable data collection and model refinement leading to a simplified model for widespread application.
