However, the performance of heat pipe does not satisfy the electronic component industry due to poor thermal conductivity of working fluids. In this project, the main purpose is to identify the influences of the various types of nanofluid in the heat pipe thermal performances to provide useful information for the electronic industry to create a high performance cooling device. The experiment was conducted using Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) to investigate the effects of nanofluids. The LHP has been selected for the research because its uniqueness of neglecting any surrounding effects including the gravitational effects and also low temperature differences throughout the heat pipe. In the experimental conduct, the working fluid such as water, aluminum oxide nanofluid and diamond nanofluid has been used and the results were compared to investigate effects of nanofluids. The investigation was based on the thermal resistance, thermal conductivity and thermal distribution of the heat pipe. Then, FEM simulation has been conducted to compare the simulation results with the experimental results. The 3D model of loop heat pipe has been developed and all the boundary conditions such the pipe's thermal conductivity, surrounding temperature and heat transfer coefficient for LHP model was based on the experimental results calculation. The simulation results provides with the temperature contour for the model and the temperature distribution plotted based on the temperature contour. The comparison between experimental and simulation was based on the temperature distribution of both results. In a nutshell, this project is about the study regarding the effects of nanofluids on parameters such as temperature distribution, heat transfer coefficient and thermal resistance in the heat pipe to determine the effects of nanofluids on the heat pipe. 2024-11-29T02:56:10Z 2024-11-29T02:56:10Z 2013 Resource Types::text::Final Year Project https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/35179 en application/pdf
