  • Abstract
    Equations are developed for determining the temperature of a steady-state power flux source incident on the heat pipe as a function of the pipe wall thickness. The analysis shows the heat pipe to be no better than a semi-infinite heat sink operating at an elevated temperature for practical solid-state RF devices having power flux densities of 104-106watts/cm2.
