Heat Pipes

Heat pipes are used in a wide range of applications, including electronics cooling, die-casting and injection molding, heat recovery and energy conservation, de-icing and manufacturing process temperature control, and in domestic appliances. An essential guide for practicing engineers and an ideal text for postgraduate students, the book takes a highly practical approach to the design and selection of heat pipes. This new edition has been updated with new information on the underlying theory of heat pipes and heat transfer, fully updated applications, new data sections, new chapters on design and on electronics cooling applications. This book is a useful reference as well as an accessible introduction for those approaching the topic for the first time.
