Abstract

It is presented an applied brief study concerning the possibility of heat pipe heat exchanger utilization in waste heat recovery systems and there are emphasized advantages of this kind of heat exchanger. A numeric comparison is carried out in order to prove the superiority of the forced convection heat transfer for fluids passing across pipes, like both regions of the heat pipe.
