Abstract

This experimental study is to research heat transfer characteristics in copper-water heat pipes with screen wick, the 150 and 200-mesh. Recent advances in the miniaturization and large capacity of electronic devices have had a major impact on the design of electronic equipment. As a result, a high-performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angle, number of layer and temperature of cooling water. The distilled water was used for the working fluid. At a inclination angle $6^{\circ}$, the 200-mesh screen wick 3-layer is shown the best heat transfer performance.
