The effect of layer thickness on the geometry and capillary performance of strut-based heat pipe wicks manufactured by laser powder bed fusion

Additive manufacturing (AM) can be used to fabricate heat pipes and two-phase heat sinks which have integrated wicking structures. These devices can be customized and have superior performance when compared with devices with conventionally fabricated wicks. The current work investigates the impact o...
