## Abstract With a specified pressure distribution, an analytical investigation was conducted to explore the flow and heat transfer characteristics in an evaporator porous wicking structure of a flat heat pipe. The boundary effect on the flow rate is more significant than the inertia, and both the

β¦ Synopsis
A capillary pumped loop (CPL), because of its high power thermal transport character, has been developed as an attractive system for the thermal discharge of electronic chips with high power loads, especially on spacecrafts. A working fluid having relatively larger heat of evaporation, methanol for example, may transfer significant heat flux. In this paper a new mathematic model is constructed, in which the most important character is the treatment or the unsaturated region of the evaporator porous wick . Numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer in the evaporator porous wick is carried out with a new three-layer model. The importance of unsaturated layer to simulate the present problem is clear.

The main aspect of this paper is to provide a synthesis between two major lines of development in the understanding of mass and heat transfer in a volatile porous medium. The first one is a macroscopic approach, where the medium is considered as a continuum, and heat and mass transfer equations are
