TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal solution for an electronic device, which is positioned between a heat source and an external surface of the electronic device and/or another component, is presented.
Abstract: A thermal solution for an electronic device, which is positioned between a heat source and an external surface of the electronic device and/or another component of the electronic device, where the thermal solution facilitates heat dissipation from the heat source while shielding the external surface and/or second component from the heat generated by the heat source.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal performance, transient behavior and operational start-up characteristics of flat-shaped heat pipes using nanofluids are analyzed in a comprehensive analytical model, which accounts in detail the heat transfer characteristics within the pipe wall and the wick within the condensation and evaporation sections.
