| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fundamental experiments on a heat pipe were conducted, and then a pulsating heat pipe was fabricated by using a 3-D printer and a graphene-laden plastic material. Because of high wettability, ethanol was used as a working fluid. Experimental results for a 20 degree bent pulsating heat pipe and a straight one were compared. It was found that the heat transport performance of the bent pulsating heat pipe was slightly lower than that of the straight one at heat inputs of 5.0W and 6.0W. However, steady-state operation and heat transport were confirmed for the both pulsating heat pipes.
