Abstract:The use of two-phase heat transfer devices using capillary action in a microscale porous structure such as a loop heat pipe (LHP) is a promising heat transport technology. It is because they have characteristics of higher heat transfer power and longer heat transport distances with no electrical power compared with conventional heat pipes. The thermal performance of an LHP is governed by the thermo-fluid behavior in a microscale porous structure called the wick. In this research, high-performance wicks made of… 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.
