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

ABSTRACT

The present investigation deals with the effect of CuO/water nanofluid on the thermal performance of a heat pipe. The impact of CuO/water nanofluid application on the heat pipe for a wider range of input power (50−150 W) and inclination angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90° from horizontal) have been analyzed. Experimental findings confirm 20.5% decrease in thermal resistance and 15.3% increment in thermal efficiency of the heat pipe compared to water. Maximum thermal efficiency (66.5%) of a heat pipe was obtained at 150 W and 1.0 vol.% of nanofluid in a horizontal position. Investigation establishes that a 30° inclination angle is the most favorable one for the optimum enhancement of thermal performance of a heat pipe.

KEY WORDS: heat pipe, nanofluids, thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal efficiency
