RLHT-107 Heat Pipe Apparatus

Heat pipe is an interesting device, which is used to transfer heat from one location to another. The apparatus consists of three pipes, viz. A heat pipe, copper pipe and stainless steel pipe. Ail the pipes have same physical dimensions. Copper and stainless steel pipes serve the purpose of comparison of heat pipe performance. All pipes are mounted vertically with a band heater at lower end and water filled heat sink at upper end. Nearly isothermal operation of heat pipe is clearly visualized from longitudinal temperature distribution of the pipe.EXPERIMENTATION To study Heat Transfer Phenomenon through Heat Pipe
