Performance analysis of cylindrical heat pipe using nanofluids – An experimental study

Thermal characteristics studies on sintered wick heat pipe using CuO and Al2O3 nanofluids

“…The present work is compared with Venkatachalapathy et al [24] at the fixed mass concentration of 1.0 wt.%. The authors experimentally investigated the thermal performance of mesh wick heat pipe with CuO/DI water nanofluid at 1.0 wt.% concentration.…”

“…Venkatachalapathy et al [24] mentioned the porosity of copper mesh wick is 63% (The diameter of a single copper wire was 300µm and the mesh number was 100 mesh/inches) and the sintered wick (Present work) was having 48% (Reported by the suppliers -Golden Star India Private Ltd., Gujarat, India). The permeability is the ability of the wick structures to transmit the fluids.…”

Effect of magnetic field on the heat transfer rate of kerosene/Fe2O3 nanofluid in a copper oscillating heat pipe

“…(12), where A e is the evaporator area and DT e = T e,s À T e,v is the temperature difference between the evaporator and the condenser [28]:…”

Effect of Nanofluids on Boiling Heat Transfer Performance

“…Heat pipe that is a compact and effective heat exchanger includes microchannel heat pipe, mesh wick heat pipe, sintered core heat pipe, oscillating heat pipe and thermosyphon heat pipe, and other heat pipe forms [31]. The researchers conducted experimental studies on different types of nanofluids such as Al 2 O 3 [32,33], CuO [34,35], SiO 2 [36,37], Fe 2 O 3 [38,39], and graphene nanosheets [40][41][42] in heat pipes. The results indicated that nanofluids can enhance heat transfer of the heat pipes.…”
