Description
Narendra Babu and co-authors report a 2026 lab study of a heat pipe design meant to cool hot equipment. The device is a bent capillary tube with no wick, filled with methanol, and its loops double as cooling fins on a base plate. The team built versions with eighteen turns, laid flat or stacked in layers, and tested how well each one moved heat.
The tests varied the fill level, the tilt of the device, and heat loads from fifty to four hundred watts. Layered versions worked at any tilt, while upright bottom heating moved the most heat. The best tilt for low heat resistance sat between sixty and seventy degrees. The fin made from the pipe conducted heat better than a solid copper fin, the authors report.
