2、a constant characteristic of the catalytic B F reaction. Here Q2 represents the potenti a1 barrier between reacti ng mol ecul es : i 1 on the catalytic surface. This temperature dependence is characteristic of many physical and chemical reactions 2-151. The area A may actually be 1 somewhat larqer t

An explanation for this

4、 may be that the effective potential barrier is lowered by the electric field across the film created by the local corrosion cell . The use of this gas generation model in accelerated life testing is that the parameters B and Q ccn he determined experimentally from data taken under accelerated condi

12、eel heat pipes was found to depend on the amount of gas per unit area generated during accelerated testing. Below a critical value nc/A given by Eq. (2-9), or critical time tc given by Eq. (2-8), the ttne dependence is explained best by a parabolic function, indicative of the growth of a passivating

13、 film of corrosion products. The data in this region can be correlated with a model of film growth resulting in Eq. (2-6), which contains parameters to be determined by experiment. Above the critical point given by Eqs. (2-8) and (2-9), a linear time dependence was observed. In this region the data

14、can be correlated with a model of catalytic decomposition of methanol to formaldehyde and hydrogen on the surface of the corrosion products, resulting in Eq. (2-7). No flow rate dependence was found within the accuracy of the data. In application to other types of methanol/stainless- steel heat pipe

15、s, the gas generation may vary depending on the type of stainless steel, the purity of the methanol, and other factors; but it is expected that the behavior could be explained by the same form of the Eqs.

Based on the results of this and the previous study 2-l it appears that this method of accelerated life testi ngs has a broad applicabtlity to heat pipe systems, even when not a great deal is known concerning the actual gas evolution mechanisms. This method of accelerated 1 ife testing can now be appl led to other important types of heat pipes with good probability of success.
