The flow characteristics of thermosyphon elevation tube are investigated following the fundamental theory of two-phase flow and solution thermal dynamics. The separated phase flow model for two phases is applied to numerical simulation. The relationships of heat load with amount of elevated solution
amount of vapor
the maximum height of elevated solution
the minimum submersed depth of solution at different cross section and different submersed depth
are plotted to indicate that the elevation effect of the pipes with diameter ratio 19/32 outperforms the others
and the maximum height of elevated solution is higher than 16/32 pipes.The numerical predictions coincide well with the experimental data.
