Abstract
A high-temperature sodium/stainless steel heat pipe with multiple heat sources and sinks was fabricated, processed, and tested. Experimental results from tests performed both under vacuum and in air are presented. The startup behavior of the heat pipe from the frozen state was investigated for various heat loads and input locations, with both low and high heat rejection rates at the condenser. No startup evaporator dryout failures were found, although the heat pipe was sonic-limited during startup in air.
