Korngold}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Theoretical optimization of a copper-water negative inclination heat pipe with internal composite wick structure had been performed, regarding a new introduced parameter: the ratio between the coarse mesh wraps and the fine mesh wraps of the composite wick. Since in many cases, the design of a heat pipe matches specific thermal requirements and physical limitations, this work demonstrates the optimization of a 1m length, 8mm internal diameter heat pipe without an adiabatic section, at a negative inclination angle of -10º. The optimization is based on a new introduced parameter, LR: the ratio between the coarse mesh wraps and the fine mesh wraps. }, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {11}, year = {2014}, pages = {1390 - 1394}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9999726}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/95}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 95, 2014}, }
