The use of fluid in grinding enhances heat exchange at the contact zone and reduces grinding temperature. However, the massive use of fluid can cause negative influences on environment and machining cost. In this paper, a novel method of reducing grinding temperature based on heat pipe technology is proposed. One new heat pipe grinding wheel and its heat transfer principle are briefly introduced. A heat transfer mathematical model is established to calculate equivalent thermal conductivity of heat pipe grinding wheel. Compared with the wheel without heat pipe, heat transfer effect of heat pipe grinding wheel is presented, and the influences of heat flux input, cooling condition, wheel speed, and liquid film thickness on heat transfer performance are investigated. Furthermore, dry grinding experiments with two different wheels are conducted to verify the cooling effectiveness on grinding temperature. The results show that thermal conductivity of the wheel with heat pipe can be greatly improved compared to the one without heat pipe; heat transfer performance of heat pipe grinding wheel can change with different grinding conditions; meanwhile, grinding temperatures can be significantly decreased by 50% in dry grinding compared with the wheel without heat pipe.

Heat transfer performance of the heat-pipe grinding wheel (HPGW) is mainly depended on the heat pipe in the wheel. In this paper, a basal body of HPGW was developed and a heat transfer experiment was performed to study the effect of the parameters of the heat pipe such as liquid filling ratio and rotating speed on the heat transfer performance of the HPGW. Results show that the heat transfer performance decreases if the liquid filling rate is too large or too small under the same heat source intensity and the optimal liquid filling rate is about 35% of the volume inside the heat pipe. The heat transfer performance of the HPGW is enhanced with the increasing of the rotating speed. The analysis of the results also shows that the heat pipe in the HPGW can play a great role on enhancing the heat transfer in the grinding zone with suitable processing parameters.

With the continuous development of industrial technology, the safety and efficiency of thermal equipment work in related industries and industrial fields are facing many problems. First, with the improvement of integrated level, the size of electronic components is getting smaller and smaller, and the heat load per unit area is increasing, which makes the traditional heat dissipation method difficult to meet the requirements; second, with the increase of energy-saving pressure, the temperature difference of low-temperature waste heat recovery is reduced, and the traditional heat exchange equipment is difficult to meet the working requirements. The pulsating heat pipe has the characteristics of small volume and excellent heat transfer performance. In view of the heat transfer performance of the pulsating heat pipe, we designed the gas-liquid pulsating heat pipe heat exchanger and studied its heat transfer performance, which has been verified to be effective.

Coolants are widely used to dissipate grinding heat in conventional grinding. This process, however, is not satisfactory as coolants often lose efficacy in grinding due to film boiling and can result in adverse health and environment effects. The present paper put forward the concept of a rotating heat pipe grinding wheel, attempting to reduce or eliminate the coolant amount and realize green machining. The heat transfer performance of rotating heat pipe grinding wheel was studied by using volume of fluid method in ANSYS/FLUENT. The influence of the input heat flux, filling ratio and rotational speed were investigated by a simulation method. Results show that the appropriate heat flux range for the rotating heat pipe grinding wheel was from 2000 to 100,000 W/m2, the ideal filling ratio was 50% and the rise of the rotational speed turned out to weaken the heat transfer coefficient. Finally, dry grinding experiments on Ti-6Al-4V were performed and the temperatures in both the rotating heat pipe and the grinding contact zone were monitored. The new designed rotating heat pipe grinding wheel showed a good prospect for application to green grinding of difficult-to-cut materials.

Two-phase closed thermosyphons have good thermal conductivity and are widely used in heat transfer applications. It is essential to establish an effective method for evaluating the steady-state heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphons, as such a method can help to select appropriate designs and to improve the efficiency of these devices. In this paper, the equivalent thermal conductivity is derived by the principle of equal total thermal resistance, in which the influence of the adiabatic length is eliminated. An evaluation model of the steady-state heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphons is established. Test results of three two-phase closed thermosyphons with total lengths of 220 mm, 320 mm and 500 mm show that as the heat transfer rate increases, the equivalent thermal conductivity of these devices decreases by 28.91%, increases by 6.10% and increases by 10.02%, respectively, among which the minimum value is 831.63 W?m-1?K-1and the maximum value is 1694.19 W?m-1?K-1. The decrease (increase) in the equivalent thermal conductivity in the evaluation model indicates a decrease (increase) in the heat transfer performance. The results show that the equivalent thermal conductivity of the model can effectively evaluate the heat transfer performance of two-phase closed thermosyphons.

This paper experimentally investigates how different mass concentration and aspect ratio multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) acetone nanofluid affects the heat transfer performance of a flat plate heat pipe (FPHP). Different mass concentration and aspect ratio MWCNTs-acetone nanofluids are prepared without any surfactants or additives using the two-step method. Aspect ratios of MWCNTs are 666 (M1) and 200 (M2), respectively, and their according mass concentrations are 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, and 0.015 wt. %, respectively. The thermal resistance and wall temperature of the FPHP are experimentally obtained when the above-mentioned nanofluids are used as working fluid. The results showed that different mass concentration affects the heat transfer performance, therefore, there is an optimal MWCNTs-acetone nanofluid mass concentration (about 0.005wt. %). Also, the results showed that the thermal resistances of the FPHP with M1-acetone nanofluid (0.005 wt. %) and M2-acetone nanofluid (0.005 wt. %) are reduced 40% and 16%, respectively. Based on the above experimental phenomenon, this paper discusses the reasons for enhancement and decrement of heat transfer performance of the different mass concentration. For the M1-acetone nanofluid, the investigated FPHP has a thermal resistance of 0.26 °C/W and effective thermal conductivity 3212 W/m k at a heat input of 160 W. For the M2-acetone nanofluid, the investigated FPHP has a thermal resistance of 0.33 °C/W and effective thermal conductivity 2556 W/m k at a heat input of 150 W. The nanofluid FPHP investigated here provides a new approach in designing a high efficient next generation heat pipe cooling devices.
