A Novel Semi-Visualizable Experimental Study of a Plate Gravity Heat Pipe at Unsteady State

An experimental study on a plate gravity heat pipe (PGHP) with inner cavity size of length 100 mm (X), width 2.5 mm (Y), and height 210 mm (Z) with acetone as the working fluid was carried out. The effects of heating power inputs (80–180 W) and fluid filling ratios (25%, 48%, and 55%) on the start-u...
