Abstract
The influence of filling ratio and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) nanofluid concentration on the total thermal resistance and the startup of a copper miniature two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) at various heat loads are investigated experimentally in this study. Length of the device is 340 mm with inner diameter of 10 mm and 1 mm of thickness. The working fluids are deionized water (DI) and CNF suspensions with 0.5, 1 and 2 vol. % and filling ratios were set to 25, 50 and 75%. Heat load varied from 20 W to 80 W with increment of 10 W. Cooling system adopted the forced air convection. Total thermal resistance of the TPCT was obtained using the recorded data of wall temperature distribution at the steady state of each experiment. Addition of CNF with 1 vol. % to DI at filling ratio of 75% reduced the evaporator wall temperature by 40% and 23%, also it reduced the total thermal resistance by 58.78% and 33.65% at 20 and 80W, respectively. Moreover, it shortened the startup duration by 33% and reduced its temperature by 42%. This paper contains important findings that proves that CNF enhanced the thermal performance of the TPCT when applying an appropriate concentration and filling ratio.
