Heat Pipe Performance Characteristics and Prediction Models for Motor Heat Dissipation
Electric motors are developing towards high power density and miniaturization, making thermal management increasingly critical. This study investigated the influence mechanisms of key parameters, such as the heat source power, position between evaporator and condenser side, and bending angle, on the heat transfer performance of heat pipe. Moreover, comparative analyses were performed on the prediction performance of five machine learning models: genetic algorithm optimized back propagation neural network (GA-BPNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). The results indicate that: the coupled detrimental effects of gravity and bending angle on the capillary wick structure govern the heat transfer performance; under a 90° bending angle at 60-W heat source power, the side arrangement of the condenser above evaporator achieves the best equivalent thermal conductivity, which is 30 times that of the condenser under evaporator. The mean absolute percentage error of XGBoost is 3.72%, coefficient of determination is 0.95, root mean square error only higher than that of the GA-BPNN model, and training time is less than 2 s, demonstrating the best performance among five models. The prediction results of XGBoost model illustrate that different positions and bending angles lead to different dissipation performances. To improve the temperature uniformity in the winding of motor, a heat pipe with 0° bending angle is recommended for the heat dissipation of motor.
