“…They reported that the efficiency of the heat pipe is enhanced by 14 % compared to the heat pipe charged with DI water. Wang et al [2] studied the operational characteristics of cylindrical GHPs using a CuO nanofluid as the working fluid. They found that the total resistance of a heat pipe charged with nanofluid is reduced by 50 % compared to that of a heat pipe charged with water.…”

“…Hence, the heat load, Q, is used as the heat input to the evaporator. Moreover, T vap is saturated steam temperature which can be measured from the surface of the adiabatic section [11]. This assumption is due to the axial temperature variation of the liquid and vapor regions in operating heat pipes.…”

“…They found that the average evaporator wall temperatures of the heat pipe using NFs decreased compared with those of the heat pipe using deionized water which resulted in 60% smaller thermal resistance of the heat pipe at 1 wt.% CuO NF. Wang et al [11] investigated experimentally thermal performance of a cylindrical miniature grooved heat pipe using aqueous CuO NF. It was found that the evaporation heat transfer coefficient and maximum heat flux were increased by one time and 35%, respectively when NF was used as a working fluid instead of water in the heat pipe.…”

a b s t r a c tThis study presents the effect of Al 2 O 3 nanofluid (NF) on thermal performance of screen mesh heat pipe in cooling applications. Three cylindrical copper heat pipes of 200 mm length and 6.35 mm outer diameter containing two layers of screen mesh were fabricated and tested with distilled water and water based Al 2 O 3 NF with mass concentrations of 5% and 10% as working fluids. To study the effect of NF on the heat pipes thermal performance, the heat input is increased and then decreased consecutively and the heat pipes surface temperatures are measured at steady state conditions. Results show that using 5 wt.% of Al 2 O 3 NF improves the thermal performance of the heat pipe for increasing and decreasing heat fluxes compared with distilled water, while utilizing 10 wt.% of Al 2 O 3 NF deteriorates the heat pipe thermal performance. For heat pipe with 5 wt.% Al 2 O 3 NF the reduction in thermal resistance of the heat pipe is found to be between 6% and 24% for increasing and between 20% and 55% for decreasing heat fluxes, while the thermal resistance increased between 187% and 206% for increasing and between 155% and 175% for decreasing steps in heat pipe with 10 wt.% of Al 2 O 3 NF.
