Because the evaporative heat transfer of a wick structure in a loop heat pipe is exceedingly sensitive to the internal volume fractions of liquid and vapor phases, the purpose of this study was to investigate the evaporative heat transfer of various biporous wick parameters by controlling the partic

## Abstract In order to observe startup characteristics, a vertically installed highβtemperature heat pipe fin was tested. The temperature curves during the startup process are given. It was found that the evaporator bottom temperature in the highβtemperature heat pipe fin with a constant heat inpu
A novel loop heat pipe system was designed for use in solar hot water heating and an analytical model was developed to investigate its thermal performance and determine six major limits to system operation, i.e. capillary limit, entrainment limit, viscous limit, boiling limit, sonic limit, and fille
