Abstract Numerical analyses were conducted for an ultra-thin heat pipe in which a thin wick layer was placed on the bottom. The vapor temperature drop caused
by vapor flow friction was discussed for two types of the ultra-thin heat pipes with small and large widths. The numerical results were compared with
those obtained for an ultra-thin heat pipe with a centered-wick structure. It was confirmed that the vapor temperature drop was reduced effectively by
increasing the width of the heat pipe. Therefore, a wider ultra-thin heat pipe, that is, an ultra-thin vapor chamber is a promising option for nextgeneration thermal management. More >
