چکیده
In recent years, the use of heat pipe for electronic equipments thermal management has been growing faster to meet the future requirements. The flat plate heat pipes (FPHP) are promising heat transporting devices capable of transmitting high heat fluxes rejected by modern electronic equipments. In the present study, the experimental analysis of the thermal performance of flat plate heat pipe is carried out for various heat input rates with different working fluids. Quantity of working fluid charged into the heat pipe is varied and its influence on performance is obtained. Different working fluids have been tested with heat pipe and their performance has been compared. At lower heat flux the fluids such as acetone, ethanol, and methanol are better than water, whereas at higher heat flux water is best candidature among these fluids considered.
