Performance of a thermomechanical pump
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a series of thermomechanical pump tests to determine the performance of a simulated transfer system. The tests compared heater power versus transfer rates with accurate temperature, pressure, flow rate and heater power data. Test data were also compared to a computer model. The thermomechanical pump performance was found to be primarily a function of supply liquid temperature and heat input near the plug.
