28 Mar 2002TL;DR: A heat pipe configuration comprising at least one heat conduit in thermal communication with a heat flux sensor and a surface of a living body is used in a device included in a system for detecting, monitoring and reporting human physiological information as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Means and methods for measuring heat flux between a living body and an ambient atmosphere and for generating information related thereto. Means include a heat pipe configuration comprising at least one heat conduit in thermal communication with a heat flux sensor and a surface of a living body. Methods include employing such a heat pipe configuration. Heat pipe configuration may be used in a device included in a system for detecting, monitoring and reporting human physiological information.

TL;DR: Pulsating (or oscillating) heat pipes (PHP or OHP) are new two-phase heat transfer devices that rely on the oscillatory flow of liquid slug and vapor plug in a long miniature tube bent into many turns.
Abstract: Pulsating (or oscillating) heat pipes (PHP or OHP) are new two-phase heat transfer devices that rely on the oscillatory flow of liquid slug and vapor plug in a long miniature tube bent into many turns. The unique feature of PHPs, compared with conventional heat pipes, is that there is no wick structure to return the condensate to the heating section; thus, there is no countercurrent flow between the liquid and vapor. Significant experimental and theoretical efforts have been made related to PHPs in the last decade. While experimental studies have focused on either visualizing the flow pattern in PHPs or characterizing the heat transfer capability of PHPs, theoretical examinations attempt to analytically and numerically model the fluid dynamics and/or heat transfer associated with the oscillating two-phase flow. The existing experimental and theoretical research, including important features and parameters, is summarized in tabular form. Progresses in flow visualization, heat transfer characteristics, and ...

TL;DR: The use of heat pipes can potentially reduce the thermal resistance and pressure losses in the system as well as temperature regulation of the TEGs and increased design flexibility as discussed by the authors, but heat pipes do have limitations such as maximum rates of heat transfer and temperature limits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal resistance of a vertical meshed heat pipe with nanofluid was measured and it was shown that the temperature of the heat pipe varies with the size of gold nanoparticles.
