Week Six:

     
In week six our group redesign the heat pipe. Due to the problem we encountered during testing we decide to rebuild our heat pipe. On testing day we found some leakage in our pipe as well we weren't sure the amount of water we put in will withstand the heat without being completely evaporated.
In our second design we, build the heat pipe with screw caps for easy access if we will need to add more water incase of evaporation.
 The picture below shows the redesign of the heat pipe.

After redesigning of the heat pipe, our next task is use the following equation to determine the working condition of our medium.

The following equation was used to determine the potential dissipation over time
