Abstract


An experimental investigation is carried out for determining heat pipes heat transfer rate involving wire wick and mesh wick. The investigation is conducted in order to examine the efficiency of wire wicked heat pipe. The wire wick is investigated for heat transfer rate and efficiency by comparing it with the widely used economic and efficient mesh wick structure. The investigation function involved detecting the heat transfer at different angle of inclinations. Both the heat pipes considered have the same thickness of wick layers and same working fluid tested under ideal situations.
