If you have a house that isn’t used in the winter or a home that has pipes running through an unheated area, such as a crawl space or attic, and the temperatures drop below freezing, you may want to ...

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 ...

New challenges facing thermal management include an increasing need for remote heat dissipation as well as more efficient thermal solutions with low weight, low cost, and high reliability. Heat pipes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Years ago, I had a high school science teacher ask our class the following question: If a piece of wood and a steel rod sat outside on a 20-degree day, which one would be warmer? While the class ...
