Project Overview

Plans and Future Improvements:
For this Project, Groups were tasked with constructing a Heat Pipe ideal for cooling electronics at low temperatures. To ensure a quality deliverable, research will further be conducted, finding ways to alter and further improve design.

Changes could be made to many aspects of the design to make it more effective. Although the choice of material could have an impact on the functionality of the Heat Pipe, changing the liquid or metal could cause problems as listed in the Background section of the blog. However, the capillary design could be further improved, allowing the liquid to condense with more ease or travel faster, increasing the efficiency of the Heat Pipe.

Once all design and material aspects have been determined, assembly and construction can begin. Although only one Heat Pipe is required, it would be favorable to construct two or three, to allow for further testing and prototyping.


Once the deliverable (Heat Pipe) is up to standards, work can begin on the final report and presentation, where the properties of the resulting heat pipes will be explained in further detail, demonstrating a solid knowledge of the subject by the group. The blog will be updated continuously as the project develops, with weekly updates and further background information and valuable resources (slideshows, videos, and articles).
