(664Kb) | Request a copy The heat pipe is an innovative
engineering structure characterized by its capacity to transfer
large quantities of heat through relatively small cross-
sectional areas with very small temperature differences; it also
possesses high thermal conductance and low thermal impedance. In
recent times, heat pipes in various forms and designs have found
a wide variety of applications. This paper briefly presents the
basic concepts of heat pipes, recent innovations in design and
their applications. |Item Type:||Journal Article| |Additional
