| Opis: | Predicting phase-change heat transfer in two-phase closed thermosyphons (TPCTs) represents a significant challenge owing to the complex interaction of boiling, condensation, and conjugate heat transfer (CHT) mechanisms. This study presents a numerical investigation of a TPCT using the Combined Boiling Model (CBM) within a conjugate heat transfer (CHT) framework. Unlike prior TPCT studies, the CBM integrates an improved RPI-based wall boiling model with sliding bubble dynamics, a laminar film condensation closure, and Lee-type bulk phase change in a single, energy-consistent formulation suited for engineering-scale meshes and time-steps. Building on these extensions, we demonstrate the approach on a vertical TPCT with full CHT and validate it against experiments and a VOF–Lee reference. Simulations for heat loads ranging from 173 to 376 W capture key flow features, including vapour generation, vapour-pocket dynamics, and thin-film condensation, while reducing temperature deviations typically below 3% in the evaporator and adiabatic sections and about 2 to 5% in the condenser. The results confirm that the CBM provides a physically consistent and computationally efficient approach for predicting evaporation–condensation phenomena in TPCTs. |
