Heat Pipe Symposium/Workshop
Abstract
The report describes results of a workshop meeting on research and technological development associated with heat pipe devices. Participants included representatives from industry, universities and government. The meeting was devoted to an assessment of the state-of-the-art of this field and the identification of needs and opportunities that can be effectively pursued through research. Topics discussed include fundamentals, wick properties and performance, fabrication, cryogenic heat pipes, gravity-assist pipes for high temperature applications, solar applications, space applications, variable conductance heat pipes, European developments, and identification of areas requiring additional research.
