Abstract

heat pipe with screen meshed wick. The heat pipe was designed in 200 screen meshs, 500 mm length and 12mm O.D tube of copper, water as working fluid and nitrogen as non-condensible gas. Heat pipe used in this study has evaporator, condenser and adiabatic section, respectively. Experimental data of wall temperature distribution along axial length is presented for heat transport capacity, condensor cooling water temperature change, degrees of an inclination angle, and operating temperature.
