A Heat pipe for an electronics uses ethanol as the working fluid. The evaporator is 2
cm long, the condenser is 3 cm long, and the heat pipe has no adiabatic section.
The diameter of the vapour space is 3 mm and the wicking structure consists of 3
layers of of # 500 mesh 304 SS screen (wire diameter =0.00085 in). If the heat
pipe operates at 30oC in a horizontal position, determine the capillary, sonic and
boiling limits.
