The effect of different working fluids and internal geometries on the efficiency of evacuated tube heat pipe solar collectors

In this study, a heat pipe was modified with designed and manufactured inserts of specific profiles in order to investigate the effect of the internal geometries and working fluids on the efficiency of the evacuated tube heat pipe solar collector. The experimental rig was made of a mobile frame, an...
