Thermal characteristics of conventional and flat miniature axially grooved heat pipes.

Summary

A detailed mathematical model of low-temperature axially grooved heat pipes (AGHP) is developed. Both capillary and boiling limitations are found to be important for the flat miniature copper-water heat pipe, which is capable of withstanding heat fluxes on the order of 40 watts/cm2 applied to the evaporator wall in the vertical position. The influence of the geometry of the grooved surface on the maximum heat transfer capacity of the miniature AGHP is demonstrated.
