The experimental data for heat transfer with propane pool boiling on horizontal smooth and porous tubes inside the vapordynamic thermosyphon and the LHP evaporator were recorded for saturation temperature Ts = 0−30°C and heat input q = 0.1−120 kW/m2 (q = 0.02−30 kW/m2 for LHP evaporator). Heat transfer intensification up to 3−5 times was obtained with a heat transfer coefficient up to 30 × 103 W/m2. %8 2001-06-01
