Experimental Research on the Behaviour of Heat Pipe Using Graphene Oxide as Working Fluid

Abstract

The liberation of heat from the electronic devices used in the industries, refrigeration and etc. is main concern today. The temperature of the planet earth is being increasing day by day, the generation of heat by the manufacturing industries should be reduced using innovative techniques. Generally a heat exchangers were used to reduce it. In this study, graphene oxide employed as as working fluid to determine the effective thermal conductivity. The working fluid graphene oxide plays vital role in dissipation of heat from the evaporation zone to condensed zone. The experiment setup was done with about 19.1 mm and 21 mm inner and outer diameter, respectively. The length of the heat pipe is 600 mm. The wick material was made up of brass. We observed that the graphene oxide improved thew efficieny by using as working fluid.
