| Abstract | The present study aims to investigate the effect of suspended nanoparticles in base fluids, namely nanofluids, on the thermal resistance of a disk-shaped miniature heat pipe (DMHP). In this study, two types of nanoparticles, gold and carbon, in aqueous solution are used respectively. An experimental system was set up to measure the thermal resistance of the disk-shaped miniature heat pipe (DMHP) with both nanofluids and DI-water as the working medium. The measured results show that the thermal resistance of the DMHP varies with the charge volume and the type of working medium. At the same charge volume, a significant reduction in thermal resistance of DMHP can be found, if nanofluid is used instead of DI water. |
