In this work, the thermal performance of pulsating heat pipe (PHP) using surfactant aqueous solution as working fluid was experimentally investigated. The cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was applied for preparation of surfactant solution in the concentration range of 0.025-0.25 wt%. It is found that the adding of CTAB can significantly reduce the surface tension and improve the wettability, thus enhance heat transfer between the tube wall and working fluid due to the increase in the liquid film area. The thermal performance of CTAB solution PHP depends greatly on the input power, filling ratio and surfactant concentration. Experimental results indicate that the heat transfer enhancement of PHP with CTAB solution is apparent at higher input power when the concentration is very high. Comparing to the water PHP, the thermal resistance of 0.25 wt% CTAB solution is decreased by 48.5% at the input power of 100 W when filling ratio is kept as 50%. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
