Abstract
A general three-dimensional numerical heat pipe model which includes the pipe wall, wick, and vapor flow as a conjugate heat transfer problem has been developed. The model was employed to solve for the operating characteristics of a circumferentially-heated and block-heated heat pipe. These numerical results were compared with experimental data from the heat pipe described in Part I. A good agreement between the experimental data and the numerical results was obtained for both heating modes.
