    BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION
     Thermosyphons being passive in nature makes this type of heat pipe
    heat exchanger makes it less dangerous.
     Thermosyphons are comparatively more feasible as they require no
    external mechanical pumping for fluid flow and to transfer heat.
     Simple and reliable setup helps to store the wasted heat and transfer
    it where required like cooling of water by conserving heat and will
    heat the cold water by using that conserved energy.
     Prevents global warming
     Acts as best heating device using solely solar/ thermal energy and
    helps avoid using fossil fuel and electricity unnecessarily
     Cost effective as requires no mechanical pump

    3
    OBJECTIVES
     To enhance its ability to recover heat without wasting any
    thermal energy
     To achieve a compact heat pipe heat exchanger to have the
    ability to cool a fluid over a large surface area of heat transfer
    along with using comparatively less amount of space.
     To make sure that heat transfers over a long distance with a
    consistent small temperature difference.
     To ensure both energy savings and environmental protection
     To recover and reuse heat energy and prevents global warming
     To cool the water by absorbing the heat from it

    DESIGN CONSTRAINTS
     Thermosyphon heat pipe heat exchanger must me designed
    and modelled vertical or almost vertical
     Requires quite a large distance between evaporator and
    condenser sections to device necessary convection flow
     Must avoid any pockets that may trap returning warm vapour
    which in result will stop the convective flow

     Pressure drop is calculated with the help of following
    formula
    ΔPc,max ≥ ΔPl + ΔPv + ΔPg
    Where:
     ΔPl = Pressure drop necessary for the liquid to return from condenser to the
    evaporator.
     ΔPv = Pressure drop necessary for the vapour to rise from the evaporator to
    condenser.
     ΔPg = Pressure due to gravity whose value depends on the angle of inclination
    of the pipe.

    FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS
     More research and brainstorming can be done
    towards the design and application to provide an
    effective and efficient heat pipe heat exchangers.
     As we only ran iteration tests there are potentially
    many more tests to be run and plenty more data to
    record.
     Project should be taken seriously by domestic users
    and industries to meet the original goal of reducing
    energy (electricity) costs and environment pollution.

    21
    CONCLUSIONS
     Efficient way to store and reuse waste heat
     Project depicts fruitful applications as heat recovery and
    cooling device domestically and industrially as well.
     Requires no external power sources .
     Can be installed either small or large spaces.
