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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In industry, PCs have become important pillars of automation. In addition to high clock speeds, they require robust ...
Over the past decade, the use of heat pipes in electronic cooling applications has increased dramatically, primarily in notebook computers. In fact, virtually every notebook computer manufactured ...
In the CVB experiment, Plawsky's team created a miniature heat pipe, using pentane (an organic liquid) in a glass cuvette with square corners. An electrical resistance heater was attached to the ...
Once upon a time, home computers were low-powered enough that they barely needed any cooling at all. An Amiga 500 didn’t even have a heatsink on the CPU, while the early Macintosh got by with a single ...
