Abstract An ultra-thin flattened heat pipe has been developed with a centered wick structure. This structure is essential
to make the heat pipe thinner. However, the centered wick structure reduces the evaporation and condensation
surface areas of the wick structure because it is sandwiched between heat pipe walls. In this study, because detailed
discussion has not been made, heat transfer experiments were conducted for the wick structure sandwiched
between two solid walls. This study focused on the evaporation heat transfer characteristics from the sandwiched
wick structure. The experiments were conducted with three wick structures, that is, strip-shaped sintered copper
powders with… More >
