Using a heat pipe (TPTC) for dissipating energy generated by an electronic circuit

This paper presents an experimental investigation aimed at estimating the thermal efficiency of a heat pipe compared to the most common elements for removing heat from a circuit (i.e., an electric fan and a fin - extended surface). The input voltage frequency for a standard power circuit was changed...
