Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Finned U-Shaped Heat Pipe of CPU Cooling System Using Different Fluids

This paper experimentally studies the heat absorption performance of a heat sink with vertical embedded heat pipes in the aluminum blade. The cooling system with embedded heat pipes distributes heat from the CPU to both the base plate and the heat pipes, and then transfer heat from fins to the Environment. The thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient are evaluated for natural convection...

Performance characteristics of pulsating heat pipes as integral thermal spreaders

In the recent past, Pulsating Heat Pipes (PHPs) have attracted the attention of many researchers as viable candidates for enhanced heat transfer through passive two-phase heat transfer mechanism. Although a complete theoretical understanding of operational characteristics of this device is not yet achieved, there are many emerging niche applications, ranging from electronics thermal management ...

Transient thermal performance analysis of micro heat pipes

A theoretical analysis of transient fluid flow and heat transfer in a triangular micro heat pipes (MHP) has been conducted to study the thermal response characteristics. By introducing the system identification theory, the quantitative evaluation of the MHP’s transient thermal performance is realized. The results indicate that the evaporation and condensation processes are both extended into th...
