In the present work a heat pipe of one meter length and 0.031m outer diameter was constructed and the experiments are conducted to determine the surface and vapour temperature at steady and transient conditions for two different input power in the evaporator section and cooling the condenser section by air. A CFD analysis was also carried and the results under steady state conditions are compared with the results obtained from the experiments and reported in this paper
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.
