Abstract

This paper reports the evaluation of physical properties for optimized sintered wick structured heat pipe. The structural design of the heat pipe was executed using CATIA V5 computer aided design software. Upon designing, finite element analysis conducted to evaluate performance of heat pipe were evaluated using ANSYS R19 computer aided manufacturing software.

Summary

Introduction

Introduction to aluminium and heat pipeAluminium Alloy has highly opted for structural applications. 7075 grade has been a mutual choice of raw material selection for heavy-duty manufacturing sectors and construction industries. Aluminium Alloy has highly opted for structural applications. 7075 grade has been a mutual choice of raw material selection for heavy-duty manufacturing sectors and construction industries. The advantages are low density, highest tensile strength, ductile and huge fatigue resistant [1]. It affords the capacity to transform heat efficiently from one point to another with minimum scale in temperature. A heat pipe is a “double phase” heat transfer mechanism with extremely huge “effective” thermal conductivity. A thin walled pipe with an internal wick structure allows boiling and condensing to occur within the pipe resulting in heat transfer from the hot end to the cooled end [2] Figure 1.0
