Title: Experimental Study on Thermal Behavior of a Stainless Steel-Di Water Flat Plate Heat Pipe
Abstract: Thermal performance of a stainless steel-DI water flat plate heat pipe (FPHP) is investigated experimentally. The heat pipe walls are made of stainless steel plate. Also DI-water and stainless steel mesh screen are utilized as working fluid and wick structure respectively. Experiments are conducted with various input heat fluxes in order to study thermal performance of the FPHP. The results show that thermal resistance increases with time and stays constant at the steady state condition. Furthermore, it is found that time of reaching to the steady-state condition decreases by increasing the heat flux. Moreover, it has been concluded that temperature distribution on the FPHP walls is rather uniform.
