Abstract:This paper introduces a novel micro-deep, triangle-grooved wick, and compares the performance of the flat plate heat pipe (FPHP) with various types of wicks, including foam metal copper wick, sintered copper powder wick, copper mesh wick, micro-deep rectangle-grooved wick, and micro-deep triangle-grooved wick. Test results verified the feasibility of the nanofluids applied to FPHP. Tested working fluids included deionized water, Cu-water nanofluids, carbon-coated copper nanofluids and multi-walled carbon nanot… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
