[0002] With the development of science and technology, the local heat flux density of components is gradually increasing, which brings with it many problems such as reduced service life, performance degradation, and low energy conversion rate. Therefore, the demand for efficient heat dissipation materials is increasing. As an efficient heat dissipation device, the pulsating heat pipe couples two heat transfer methods: phase change heat transfer and oscillating motion sensible heat transfer in micro channels. It utilizes the phase change process of the internal working medium and the vapor pressure difference generated by the latent heat transfer between the evaporation end and the condensation end to drive the liquid bullet to oscillate in the channel. It is a heat pipe with high thermal conductivity.

The steam mass change in the pulsating heat pipe is caused by the evaporation section and the condensation section. The pressure difference caused by the temperature gradient of the evaporation section drives the liquid-elastic pulsation. This pulsation can promote the circulation of the working fluid between the evaporation section and the condensation section, thereby realizing the heat transfer; latent heat is the heat absorbed or released by the working fluid during the phase change process, and sensible heat is the heat absorbed or released by the working fluid when the temperature changes during the heating or cooling process. The sensible heat transfer of the liquid-elastic pulsation in the pulsating heat pipe is the main way of heat transfer; thermal resistance is the ratio of the temperature difference between the evaporation section and the condensation section to the input heat flow. The smaller the thermal resistance, the less heat is retained in the tube, and the better the heat transfer performance of the pulsating heat pipe. The above results can be used to perform simple calculations and analysis on the heat transfer performance of high-temperature pulsating heat pipes with different working fluids, such as oscillation height, oscillation speed, and thermal resistance, and draw a motion real-time diagram based on the calculation results.
