Abstract
A two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) is highly effective thermal spreader consisting of an evacuated closed tube filled with a certain amount of working fluid. In this study, nanofluids of aqueous CuO nanoparticles were prepared with volume concentrations varying from 1 to 3 percent. The effect of these different working fluids and the filling ratio on thermal performance of a TPCT was investigated and compared with pure water. Experimental results showed that the efficiency of TPCT significantly increases when the CuO/water nanofluid was used instead of pure water. Also, maximum efficiency of the TPCT was observed with filling ratio of 35%.
