Modelling of a thermosiphon effect in a radiator

Abstract

Paper presented at the 6th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, South Africa, 30 June - 2 July, 2008.

Heat exchangers have multiple applications. We find them in domestic heating, solar heating systems and also in many cooling systems. Our paper is concerned with oil filled electric radiators. This work gives our conclusion concerning a change in design of one model and its consequences on the internal fluid circulation.
