Contemplation of thermal characteristics by filling ratio of Al2O3 nanofluid in wire mesh heat pipe

An experimental investigation on the thermal efficiency and thermal resistance with respect to the inclined angle using heat pipe was carried out. The working fluids used for this are Al2O3 nanofluid and deionized water. The performance of heat pipe in terms of overall heat transfer coefficient and...
