Comparative investigation of the heat-transferring ability of heat pipes with lengthwise uniform and variable porous capillary structures

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

We performed a comprehensive experimental study of low-temperature heat pipes with capillary structures having uniform and variable characteristics over their length. A comparative analysis was made, on the basis of which we formulated an approach to the optimization of a porous capillary structure with lengthwise variable parameters.
