Abstract

In this study, optimal design and test of flat-plate heat pipe were carried out in order to improve both thermal response and surface temperature uniformity of heating plate. Experimental results show that the thermal response of flat-plate heat pipe is faster than that of a conventional heating type ones along with less weight and cost. The surface temperature uniformity is also improved.
