Optimization of SiO2 nanoparticle mass concentration and heat input on a loop heat pipe

This study presents the effect of nanoparticle mass concentration and heat input based on the total thermal resistance (Rth) of loop heat pipe (LHP), employed for PC-CPU cooling. In this study, silica nanoparticles (SiO2) in water with particle mass concentration ranged from 0% (pure water) to 3% is...
