Performance study of flat plate heat pipe using laser holographic interferometry

The velocity profiles in the vapour region of a flat plate heat pipe were studied. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical conditions were considered. The vapour pressure distribution was solved by introducing a stream function into the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The results obtained were com...
