...Yew Mun Hung; Kek-Kiong Tio The heat transport capacity is dependent on the contact angle between the liquid and the solid wall. The contact angle with which the liquid–vapor interface touches the solid wall is assumed to be uniform throughout the micro heat pipe. It is commonly known...

...Yew Mun Hung; Kek-Kiong Tio A one-dimensional, steady-state model of a triangular microheat pipe (MHP) is developed, with the main purpose of investigating the thermal effects of the solid wall on the heat transport capacity of an MHP. The energy equation of the solid wall is solved analytically...

... as the working fluid. Both experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to examine the maximum heat transport capacity and optimize the design parameters of this particular design. The experimental results indicated that the maximum heat transport capacity and heat flux for Prototype 1, which...
