| Research Abstract |
Investigations are carried out on a flat-plate type heat pipe and a vapor-pressure-driven heat pipe for thermal management of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). Prototypes of these heat pipes are fabricated, and their heat transport characteristics are disclosed by fundamental experiments. It is expected that PEFC could be improved by spreading the heat with the flat-plate type heat pipe and controlling the temperature with the vapor-pressure-driven heat pipe.
