Notes:
Cooling a tube-wall reactor using an annular heat pipe (AHP) is more temperature-stable, more flexible and more productive than cooling by conventional means. Tube-wall reactors cooled by an annular heat pipe arrangement exhibit flatter temperature profiles and uniform redistribution of the imposed heat load. The combination of tube-wall reactor and annular heat pipe is subject to the usual capacity limitations of the heat pipe: sonic flow, boiling heat transfer, liquid entrainment, and capillary flow of the working fluid.
