The present study proposes a new structure for a heat spreader which could embody a thin thickness, any shapes and high heat flux per unit area. It is on the structure for the formation of vapor passages and the support of the case of the heat spreader. A screen mesh is used as the one. To verify the validity of the one, the heat spreader of 1.4mm and 1.6mm thickness was made with 14 mesh and 100 mesh number. In this paper, The performance test of heat spreader conducted in order to compare with the heat transfer performance of conventional heat pipe. As the results, The heat spreader has excellent cooling and heat transfer performance.

High-temperature cylindrical sodium/stainless-steel heat pipes were manufactured and tested for transient as well as steady states. Total length of the heat pipe was 1 m and the diameter was 25.4 mm. Screen meshes of 3 different sizes were used to estimate the effect of mesh size on the thermal performance of the heat pipe. The minimum thermal resistance achieved was as low as 0.02$^{\circ}C$/W for the maximum thormal load of 2 ㎾. The average heat transfer coefficient in the evaporator was about 2,000 ㎾/$m^2$K and those in the condenser region were up to 5 times higher.

In this study, the spray cooling heat transfer and working characteristics of the screen wick heat pipe with ultrasonic spray cooling system in condenser were experimentally investigated. The heat pipe was made of copper tube 300 mm long with inner diameter of 11.1 mm. The evaporator and condenser lengths of heat pipe were 40, 200 mm and the wick structure consists of two layer of 100 mesh copper screen. The experimental results show that the ultrasonic spray cooling increases the heat transfer rate on the condenser surface, and the total thermal resistance of heat pipe system decreases remarkably. A comparison is made for the two working fluids, water and ethanol. The surface temperature of the ethanol tube in evaporator section becomes higher than that of the water tube. Thus, the experimental result shows that water is more useful than ethanol as the working fluid because of increasing the operational limit within this experimental conditions.

A heat sink (HS) system using heat pipes for electronics systems was studied. The experimental results indicate that a cooling capacity of up to 150w at an overall temperature difference of $50^{\circ}C$ can be attainable. The heat sink design program also showed that a computer simulation can predict the most of the parameters involved. To do so, however, the interior temperature distribution had to be verified by experimental results. The current simulation results were close to the experimental results in acceptable range. The simulation study showed that the design program can be a good tool to predict the effects of various parameters involved in the optimum design of the heat sink.

Experimental study is performed to investigate the effect of heat load and operating temperature on the thermal performance of a heat pipe with screen mesh wick. The heat pipe was designed in 200 screen meshes, 500mm length and 12.7mm O.D tube of copper, water as working fluid(4.8g) and nitrogen as non-condensible gas(NCG). The heat pipe used in this study has evaporator, condenser and adiabatic section, respectively. Experimental data of axial wall temperature distribution is presented for heat transport capacity, the temperature of cooling water of condenser, inclination angle, and operating temperature. For the results from this study, it is found that, for the same charging mass of working fluid, the initial operating temperature and the overall wall temperatures of heat pipe are higher for NCG charging mass of $5.0{\times}10^{-6}kg$ and $3.4{\times}10^{-6}kg$, than that of $1.0{\times}10^{-6}kg$.

Experimental study has been performed to investigate the influence of non-condensible gas(NCG) charged mass on the thermal performance of a variable conductance heat pipe(VCHP) with screen mesh wick. The VCHP is furnished by screen mesh number 200 for the pipe outer diameter of 12.7mm and the pipe length of 500 mm. The VCHP is filled with water as working fluid of 4.8g and nitrogen as NCG and has evaporator, condenser and adiabatic section, respectively. For the results from experiment, it is found that, for the same charged mass of working fluid, the overall wall temperatures of heat pipe grows up with increasing NCG charged mass. The variation of operating temperature of VCHP reduces with increasing NCG mass. In addition, the profile of axial wall temperature distribution is presented for heat transport capacity of heat pipe, the temperature of cooling water of condenser, inclination angle, and operating temperature.
