Summary

A detailed mathematical model is developed in which the heat and mass transfer processes in a micro heat pipe (MHP) are examined. The model describes the distribution of the liquid in a MHP and its thermal characteristics depending upon the liquid charge and the applied heat load. The predicted results obtained are compared to existing experimental data. The importance of the liquid fill, minimum wetting contact angle, and the shear stresses at the liquid-vapour interface in predicting the maximum heat transfer capacity and thermal resistance of the MHP is demonstrated.
