The heat transfer characteristics of a closed-end oscillating heat pipe (CEOHP) and a closed-loop oscillating heat pipe (CLOHP) at normal operating condition were modeled using the explicit finite element method. The parameters affecting the heat transfer of a CEOHP and a CLOHP at top heat mode were...
