Abstract: The paper presents the enhancement in the operational limits (boiling, entrainment, sonic, viscous and capillary limits) of heat pipes using silver nanoparticles dispersed in deionized (DI) water. The tested nanoparticles ...

Abstract: The effect of nanoparticle coating on the performance of a miniature loop heat pipe (mLHP) is experimentally investigated for heat inputs of 20–380 W using distilled water as the working fluid. Applications include the ...
