Abstract

A mathematical model to analyze heat and mass transfer process in a micro heat pipe (MHP) defines liquid distribution in and thermal features of MHP. The thermal features are influenced by liquid charge and applied heat load. The model highlights the significance of liquid fill, minimum wetting contact angle and shear stresses at the liquid-vapor interface in predicting maximum heat transfer capacity and thermal resistance of the MHP.
