In this paper, the performance of a two-phase closed thermo-siphon (heat pipe) with water as the working fluid for thermal control of a batch reactor was studied. In the simulation performed, the influence of some parameters such as: filling ratio of 30%-80% and input heat power between 200- 1200 watt and heating time on the uniformity of the temperature distribution in the reactor were studied. The important observations of this research project were the consistency of the temperature inside the reactor and also finding the optimal filling ratio of the heat pipe as well. The results of this simulation are applicable in design and control of reactor temperature and also optimization of the heat pipe.
