Summary

An approximate theoretical model for predicting the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a conical rotating heat pipe is presented. The ideal fluid charges and working states of the heat pipe are estimated from the film thickness distributions. Further, the effect of fluid charge on the performance of the heat pipe is investigated. The approximate analytical estimates show reasonably good agreement with the existing and experimental results.
