Experimental study has been performed to investigate the influence of non-condensible gas(NCG) charged mass on the thermal performance of a variable conductance heat pipe(VCHP) with screen mesh wick. The VCHP is furnished by screen mesh number 200 for the pipe outer diameter of 12.7mm and the pipe length of 500 mm. The VCHP is filled with water as working fluid of 4.8g and nitrogen as NCG and has evaporator, condenser and adiabatic section, respectively. For the results from experiment, it is found that, for the same charged mass of working fluid, the overall wall temperatures of heat pipe grows up with increasing NCG charged mass. The variation of operating temperature of VCHP reduces with increasing NCG mass. In addition, the profile of axial wall temperature distribution is presented for heat transport capacity of heat pipe, the temperature of cooling water of condenser, inclination angle, and operating temperature.

Experimental study is performed to investigate the effect of heat load and operating temperature on the thermal performance of a heat pipe with screen mesh wick. The heat pipe was designed in 200 screen meshes, 500mm length and 12.7mm O.D tube of copper, water as working fluid(4.8g) and nitrogen as non-condensible gas(NCG). The heat pipe used in this study has evaporator, condenser and adiabatic section, respectively. Experimental data of axial wall temperature distribution is presented for heat transport capacity, the temperature of cooling water of condenser, inclination angle, and operating temperature. For the results from this study, it is found that, for the same charging mass of working fluid, the initial operating temperature and the overall wall temperatures of heat pipe are higher for NCG charging mass of $5.0{\times}10^{-6}kg$ and $3.4{\times}10^{-6}kg$, than that of $1.0{\times}10^{-6}kg$.

Woven wire wick is very effective structure because of its easiness to insert inside of pipe for a miniature heat pipe. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the effective flow passage with respect to wire helix angle. Also effective thermal conductivity were examined by defining mean porosity considering effective liquid flow passages. Effective heat transfer area is varied with respect to wire helix angle, and in the range of $\thet=60~65^{\circ}C$, heat transfer area is decreased about 15~20%. Permeability of woven wire wick shows similar value of 200 mesh screen wick. And comparison of experimental results on effective thermal conductivity shows a fairly good agreement with the analytical results.

This paper is to research the heat transfer characteristic performance of the copper-water heat pipe with the screen wicks. Recently, the semiconductor capacity of an electronic unit has been larger, on the contrary, its size has been much smaller. As a result, a high-performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angles, temperatures of cooling water and the mesh number of screen wicks. The distilled water was used for the working fluid. At the inclination angle $6^{\circ}$ in top heat mode, the two layers of the 100-mesh screen wick showed the best heat transfer performance. The thermal resistance of the two layers with the 100-mesh screen was 0.7~$0.8^{\circ}C$/W.

This study is to research the heat transfer characteristics in copper-water heat pipes with screen wick, #100. Recently, the semiconductor capacity of an electronic unit has been larger, on the contrary, its size is smaller than before. As a result, a high-performance cooling system is needed. Experimental variables are inclination angle and temperature of cooling water. The distilled water was used for the working fluid. At a inclination angle ${-6}^{\circ}$, #100 2layer screen mesh is shown the best heat transfer performance.

In this study, the spray cooling heat transfer and working characteristics of the screen wick heat pipe with ultrasonic spray cooling system in condenser were experimentally investigated. The heat pipe was made of copper tube 300 mm long with inner diameter of 11.1 mm. The evaporator and condenser lengths of heat pipe were 40, 200 mm and the wick structure consists of two layer of 100 mesh copper screen. The experimental results show that the ultrasonic spray cooling increases the heat transfer rate on the condenser surface, and the total thermal resistance of heat pipe system decreases remarkably. A comparison is made for the two working fluids, water and ethanol. The surface temperature of the ethanol tube in evaporator section becomes higher than that of the water tube. Thus, the experimental result shows that water is more useful than ethanol as the working fluid because of increasing the operational limit within this experimental conditions.

The present study proposes a new structure for a heat spreader which could embody a thin thickness, any shapes and high heat flux per unit area. It is on the structure for the formation of vapor passages and the support of the case of the heat spreader. A screen mesh is used as the one. To verify the validity of the one, the heat spreader of 1.4mm and 1.6mm thickness was made with 14 mesh and 100 mesh number. In this paper, The performance test of heat spreader conducted in order to compare with the heat transfer performance of conventional heat pipe. As the results, The heat spreader has excellent cooling and heat transfer performance.

This study has been performed to investigate the thermal performance of variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) with screen meshed wick. The active length of condenser section in a VCHP is varied by non-condensible gas, which controls the operating temperature, and the heat capacity of VCHP is controlled by the operating temperature. In this study, numerical analysis of the VCHP based on the diffusion model of non-condensible gas is done for the thermal control performance of VCHP. Water is used as a working fluid and nitrogen as a control non-condensible gas in the copper tube. As a result, the thermal conductance of VCHP has been compared with that of constant conductance heat pipe (CCHP) corresponding to the variation of operating temperature.
