Optimization of mass transport in integrated nanostructured wicking surfaces for the reduction of evaporative thermal resistance

Nanostructured materials, such as those enhanced with carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays, offer great promise for use as wicks in heat pipes and other passive phase-change cooling applications. While such nanostructures feature very small pore sizes which support high capillary pressures, it is shown that...
