Abstract
The current study reviews the research on nanosuspension-enhanced heat pipe technologies. The reviewed studies are categorized based on the nanosuspension type incorporated in the heat pipe i.e., mono & hybrid. The study attempts to identify the heat transport modes in heat pipes and explore their dominance among each other. The dominance of the identified mech-anisms was found to be a strong function of the heat pipe type investigated and get signifi-cantly influenced by the operating conditions. The current review paper will aid in properly understanding the thermal mechanisms prevalent in heat pipes filled with nanosuspensions and to further optimizing their thermal response.
