The steady-state performance of thermal circulation loops with parallel path heat sinks has been studied to determine what the system design and arrangement objectives are for such a loop. Though all heat sink paths may have thermal centers above the heat source thermal center, flow reversal through some of the paths may nevertheless occur. Such reversal can result in reduced performance if not in complete flow cessation if the improper type of arrangement design has been chosen. Assumptions normally used with present analytical techniques would mask this unfavorable effect. The analysis presented can be utilized to detect and avoid a …

Description
The steady-state performance of thermal circulation loops with parallel path heat sinks has been studied to determine what the system design and arrangement objectives are for such a loop. Though all heat sink paths may have thermal centers above the heat source thermal center, flow reversal through some of the paths may nevertheless occur. Such reversal can result in reduced performance if not in complete flow cessation if the improper type of arrangement design has been chosen. Assumptions normally used with present analytical techniques would mask this unfavorable effect. The analysis presented can be utilized to detect and avoid a flow reversal. In addition, a satisfactory system design and arrangement of such a loop can be achieved with a reduced number of required trials.
