dc.description.abstract | The fabrication and performance of wicks for vertical flat heat pipe applications produced by
compression of nickel foams has been investigated. The permeabilities and the effective pore
radii for the wicks were estimated from rate-of-rise experiments, using the model fluid
heptane. The porosities of the wicks were measured using isopropanol. The results, which
are new and of vital importance for optimum use of such wicks, show that the permeabilities
and the effective pore radii are in the upper range for heat pipe use. The joining pressure
required during the sintering of the wicks was determined, and it was discovered that the
nickel foams turned hydrophilic during the sintering | nb_NO |
