A tubular device that is very efficient in transferring heat. Using a metal container (aluminum, copper, etc.) that holds a liquid (water, acetone, etc.) under pressure, the inner surface of the tube ...

Once the secret design tool for aerospace designers, the heat pipe is a common fixture now thanks to the demands of PC CPU cooling. Heat pipes can transfer lots of energy from a hot side to a cold ...

A researcher at Sandia National Laboratories says he has created technology to disperse the heat generated within laptop computers more efficiently than today's cooling systems. Sandia's Mike Rightley ...

Which can move heat faster: a few heat pipes (say six 6mm pipes) or water running through a tube? Careful: I'm trying to zero in not on whether a heat pipe setup or a water cooling setup is better for ...

The 12-foot (3.7 metre) long heat pipe manufactured by Westinghouse Electric Company in a project supported by the US Department of Energy's Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project is one of the ...

Although most of the technology details for the Curiosity Rover are proprietary, we can guess that various heat-pipes of sorts may be on the Rover on Mars because of the efficiency and effectiveness ...
