Abstract Centered or striped wick structures have been used to develop ultrathin heat pipes. Differing from traditional heat pipes, the centered or striped wick structures leave noncontact container surfaces with the wick structure. In this study, experiments and numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the influence of these noncontact surfaces. In the experiments, a strip-shaped wick structure was placed vertically, the top was sandwiched between wider rods and the bottom was immersed in a working fluid. The rod width was greater than the wick width; thus, noncontact surfaces were left between the rod and the wick… More >
