Effects of cooling temperature on heat pipe evaporator performance using an ideal fluid mixture in microgravity

•Internal heat transfer coefficient decreased with increasing cooler temperature.•The rate of decrease was not the same for all cooler settings studied.•The slope increased 4× when a minimum in the temperature profile existed.•We saw similar changes in the rate of decrease of pressure gradient and l...
