Analysis of the Influence of Wire Meshstructure on the Performance of Liquid Suction Core in a Heat Pipe Reactor
At present,unmanned underwater vehicles have a wide range of application prospects,and the heat pipe reactor can meet the needs of unmanned underwater vehicles,such as small size,light weight,high energy density and no wake.In this paper,a mathematical model of the lithium liquid in the suction core was established by analyzing the working principle of the heat pipe reactor,and the relationship be-tween the effective infiltration height of the lithium liquid along the suction core,the viscous pressure loss along the path and the mass flow rate with the diameter of the wire mesh,the pores of the wire mesh and the number of the wire mesh layers was calculated.The results show that the diameter of the mesh should be as small as possible when designing the suction core.It is appropriate to choose more than 0.55 mm mesh pores;The number of wire mesh layers selected four layers is appropriate.It provides a theoretical basis for the design of suction core of heat pipe reactor.
