This book provides a practical study§of modern heat pipe engineering, discussing how it can be optimized for use on a wider scale. An introduction to operational§and design principles, this book offers a review of heat and mass transfer theory relevant to performance, leading into and exploration of the use of heat pipes, particularly§in high-heat flux applications and in situations in which there is any§combination of non-uniform heat loading, limited airflow over the heat generating§components, and space or weight constraints. Key implementation challenges are tackled, including load-balancing, materials characteristics, operating temperature ranges, thermal resistance, and operating orientation.§§With its presentation of mathematical§models to calculate heat transfer limitations and temperature gradient of both§high- and low-temperature heat pipes, the book compares calculated results with§the available experimental data. It also includes a series of computer programs developed by the§author to support presented data, aid design, and predict performance.§
