Abstract
Heat pipes are the novel entrants capable of addressing the challenges encountered in effectively removing the thermal load of the electronic systems. The heat pipe is a closed container, which receives the heat at one end and rejectsthesameatotherendbyusingaphasechangingliquidasaworking(heat transfer) medium. The most attractive feature of the heat pipe is its passive nature and no mechanical moving parts associated with itsoperation.In the present work, the central theme is to experimentally investigate the heat transfer performance of a cylindrical screen meshed heat pipe with different working fluids; de-ionized water (DI water), aluminium oxide (Al2O3)/DI water nanofluid and hybrid nanofluids prepared using different combinations of Al2O3and CuO with DI water.
