Abstract

In this study, expressions for the analytical temperature distribution and efficiency of a heat pipe fin were derived and compared with experimental data. Two heat pipe fin cases were studied, flush mounted and inserted into the object. It was confirmed that the derived expressions are useful as a design tool.
