Abstract

Temperature measurements of a cylindrical heat pipe with wick made of carbon fibers at several setting angles and heat inputs have been carried out under natural convection cooling condition. For each condition, temperature variation of the heat pipe surface has been measured at intervals of five minutes. Thermal conductance of this heat pipe decreases when the setting angle increases and when the evaporator is raised higher position. The maximum capillary pressure of this type of wick was found to be nearly 5 times as large as that of 200 mesh screen wick.
