The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.6 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00072 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.43 SJR: 0.318 SNIP: 0.568 CiteScore™:: 3.5 H-Index: 28

RÉSUMÉ

Novel wicks made of micro/nanopillar array or carbon nanotube array have the advantages of superhigh capillary pressure and compact dimensions, which is attractive for applications like smartphones. However, much lower permeability becomes the dominant shortcoming compared to conventional wicking structures. This work presents an investigation of the effects of low-permeability wick on various aspects of the heat pipe performance, by assigning the permeability as the parametric control variable. The transient process as well as steady state have been numerically solved by an efficient heat pipe simulation tool LVHPM. Heat pipe performances with wicks covering a wide range of permeability have been studied in terms of the mass flow, temperature, and pressure influences. Calculation results showed that with decrease of the permeability, the growth of flow resistance in the wick is faster than the capillary pressure, resulting in lower capillary limit. Further, the effect of permeability on the coupled fluid flow and heat transfer inside the heat pipe was investigated, assuming that the heat load is within moderate range. The velocity was shown to be more evenly distributed for lower permeability, but the total mass flux was insensitive to it. Steady-state temperature distribution was weakly related to wick permeability, whereas the transient temperature presented stronger dependence with permeability, showing faster response at smaller permeability. During the transition of external heat loads, pressure drop inside the wick was found being established in a short time.
