Array of Shaped Heat Pipes
Abstract
Heat distributed evenly over cone. Each heat pipe in conical array tapered to increase width of radiating outer surface with increasing distance toward base of cone. Heat flux delivered to all parts of conical surface more nearly uniform. Heat-pipe concept applicable to solar-energy and other terrestrial systems requiring spatially controlled distribution of large heat fluxes.
