In this paper, the advantages and precautions of using heat pipes to recycling flue gas waste heat in a power plant are discussed. A mathematical description of the model is established and its temperature and flow fields are simulated numerically. On this basis, effects of changing parameters and working conditions on the simulation results are studied.
