Andrew Bridges said:my question is, can I make a pipe with the valve's structure, and only apply heat in order to create flow. I know things follow the path of least resistance, and with a constant addition of heat, I'm thinking it would cause a forward flow 100% of the time. Thoughts?
Right. That's essentially what I'm thinking, but to have a radial tesla valve as the hose or pipe. That way gravity or cooling at one end is unnecessary.CWatters said:I'm not quite sure I understand your question but..
Some heating systems use convection to circulate hot water around a house (for example) instead of using a pump. It will keep circulating as long as you keep heating one side and allow heat to escape from the other. Typically these are called "gravity" or "gravity fed" systems. They don't usually need a valve at all (except to isolate parts of the system for repairs).

Yes, heat-based transport pipes can be used for a wide range of materials, including liquids, gases, and solids. The pipes are designed to transfer heat from one location to another, making them suitable for transporting various types of materials.
Yes, heat-based transport pipes are generally more energy-efficient compared to other methods of heat transfer, such as convection or conduction. They minimize heat loss and can be designed to operate at high temperatures, resulting in more efficient energy transfer.
The maximum temperature that heat-based transport pipes can withstand depends on the material they are made of and their design. However, they can typically operate at temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius.
Heat-based transport pipes work by using a fluid or gas to transfer heat from a hot source to a cooler destination. The fluid or gas flows through the pipe, absorbing heat from the hot source and releasing it at the destination. This process is known as heat exchange.
Like any industrial equipment, there are potential safety concerns with using heat-based transport pipes. It is essential to follow proper safety protocols and ensure that the pipes are designed and maintained correctly to prevent accidents or malfunctions. Additionally, some materials may be hazardous to transport using heat-based pipes, so it is crucial to consider the safety risks before use.
