Abstract
In this paper, effects on the heat transport limitation of heat pipe by the wick structural factors were theoretically analyzed for the sintered-copper wick heat pipe. Uniformity of particle size and sintering process were acted as dominant factors on the pore distribution and wick porosity, and small deviations of the wick thickness and the pore size greatly affected the heat transport limitations of the heat pipe. Especially, slight variations of the wick thickness, mean particle radius and capillary radius along the vapor temperatures and inclination angles remarkably changed the capillary limitation of the heat pipe.
