Double-sided IPEM cooling using miniature heat pipes

Flat Miniature Heat Pipes for Electronics Cooling: State of the Art, Experimental and Theoretical Analysis

An experimental study is realized in order to verify the Mini Heat Pipe (MHP) concept for cooling high power dissipation electronic components and determines the potential advantages of constructing mini channels as an integrated part of a flat heat pipe. A Flat Mini Heat Pipe (FMHP) prototype including a capillary structure composed of parallel rectangular microchannels is manufactured and a f...

Investigation of Packaged Miniature Heat Pipe for Notebook PC Cooling

Miniature heat pipe (MHP) with woven-wired wick was used to cool the CPU of a notebook PC. The pipe with circular cross-section was pressed and bent for packaging the MHP on the very limited space of a notebook PC. A cross-sectional area of the pipe is reduced about 30% when the MHP with 4mm diameter is pressed to 2mm thickness. In this study, a performance test has been performed in order to r...

Experimental Study of Convective Heat Transfer in Miniature Double Tube Hair-Pin Heat Exchanger

In this paper, we present experimental investigation of convective heat transfer characteristic in the inner tube fluid of miniature concentric double tube Hair-pin heat exchanger with constant heat flux. This work is carried out for distilled water and a mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol (10%, 20% and 25% by volume) as heat transfer cold fluid flowing in inner tube to carry away h...

A Double Pipe Heat Exchanger Design and Optimization for Cooling an Alkaline Fuel Cell System

In the presented research, heat transfer of a mobile electrolyte alkaline fuel cell (AFC) (which the electrolyte has cooling role of system) has been considered. Proper control volumes of system with specific qualification have been chosen. Consequently, heat and mass transfer in control volumes have been assessed. Considerations on them and contributed models lead to approve a double tube heat...
