Liquid-metal micro heat pipes incorporated in waste-heat radiator panels

Experimental Results for Low-Temperature Silicon Micromachined Micro Heat Pipe Arrays Using Water and Methanol as Working Fluids

“…The effective thermal conductivity value obtained in this work for the MHP is small. This effectiveness may increase if the experimental conditions are better controlled and by utilizing arrays of PN junctions with an accuracy of I-3mVIK [15] to obtain sensitive readings. It may also be observed that most of the mathematical models predict the right trend and are comparable to the experimental results of heat pipes of the order of 1 mm.…”
