摘要
Mass transfer time relaxation parameters for condensation affect the amount of the mass transfer in the phase change. In the present study, a numerical investigation has been implemented with four different parameters for the condensation process in a thermosyphon, with the parameter of 0.1 for the evaporation process. The numerical results were compared with the experimental results to validate the numerical methods. When the mass transfer time relaxation parameter for the condensation was set to the value considering the density ratio out of the four parameters, the numerical result was in good agreement with the experimental result. This numerical process is expected to be used to predict the temperature distribution in the thermosyphon more accurately.
