Compare the axial heat flux achievable by a heat pipe using water as the working fluid with that of a solid silver rod. Assume that both are 20-cm-long, that the temperature difference for the rod from end to end is 100°C and that the heat pipe operates at atmospheric pressure. State your other assumptions.

GIVEN ? Silver rod and a heat pipe, both 20-cm-long ? End-to-end temperature difference of 100°C ? Heat pipe operates at atmospheric pressure FIND (a) Axial heat flux for both rods ASSUMPTIONS ? Neglect heat pipe vapor pressure drop ? Horizontal operation for the heat pipe ? Perfect wetting of the heat pipe fluid, ? ?= 0 PROPERTIES AND CONSTANTS From Appendix 2, Table 12, the conductivity for silver at 63°C is ksilver = 424 W/(mK)
