Experiments are conducted to investigate heat transfer characteristics of using nanofluid in a Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) as a working medium for heat input range from 20W to 100W. The experiments are carried out by manufacturing the LHP, in which the setup consists of a water tank with pump, a flat evapo...
