Chapter 2 - Application of heat pipe in industry

Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss applications of heat pipes in industry such as energy system and others. We also expand on its applications in Space Program as well as Nuclear Industry. We also touch base up heat pipe applications in Electronic Manufacturing where the fast Central Processing Units (CPUs) needs to be cooled down and how heat pipe can be used as a Heat Exchanger(HE). Recently heat pipes have shown very promising results in applications such as thermal energy storage systems and concentrated solar power to produce electricity as part of renewable energy systems as well.
