Abstract

This study utilizes silver nano-fluid filled flat heat pipe. It is aimed at effect of various concentrations on flat heat pipe thermal performance by air-cooling testing equipment. The particles used in these experiments were silver particles 35 nm in size. The base working fluid was pure-water. Nano-fluids were prepared using a two-step method. In the experiment, the thickness and length of the heat pipe are 3 mm and 200 cm, respectively. An experimental system was set up to measure the temperature distribution of heat pipes and calculate the thermal resistance by equation R = ∆T/Q. At a same charge volume, the thermal resistance of heat pipe filled nano-fluid was lower than DI water.
