Abstract
A mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in a high-temperature heat pipe is formulated. Numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer processes is given. The fields of velocities, pressures, temperatures, and other parameters of the heat pipe are obtained. The obtained results may be used in designing thermal mode control systems and in analyzing the efficiency of high-temperature heat pipes.
