U- and L-shaped heat pipes heat sinks for cooling electronic components employed a least square smoothing method
A formula smoothly predicts the performance curves of U- and L-shaped heat pipes. The present study ignores the thermal performance experiment of single heat pipe. Single U-heat pipe dissipates an average heat ratio of 32.54% and L-shaped of 14%. Minimum thermal resistances of the L-heat pipe are all higher than the U-shaped. High heat flux causes the heat pipe to reach its operating limits more easily.
