Hi,

I am also looking for good resources on heat pipe design. I am a mechanical engineer and am currently working to develop a unique heat pipe design. I am specifically looking for design guidelines, keystone research papers, best practices, etc. The areas I am looking to research include optimal operating parameters and materials for the wick component, and phase change and enthalpy/entropy data for various combinations and vacuum levels for the liquid/vapor carrier fluid.

I am just getting started on this adventure and am looking for good recommendations for resources that are reasonably priced, cheap, or free. I am not in academia so do not have easy access to expensive textbooks or technical journals. I am willing to pay for highly recommended material, so please let me know what you recommend.

thanks,
Alok

I am also looking for good resources on heat pipe design.

You and me both. I've been doing quite a bit of searching and found heat pipe research publishing's rather difficult to find in english. I have found a lot of research done in Russia and in some cases China but not to many resources I can understand. If I come across any good resources I will let you know.

There is a very thorough and current article in the latest (November 2008) issue of Electronics cooling magazine, here: http://www.electronics-cooling.com/html/2008_nov_a3.php

The print magazine is free. I highly recommend it.

Also, there are some excellent references in the footnotes of the article.
