                                  Heat Pipe and Its Application in Cooking

Heat pipe is a device designed to transfer of heat from hot sources to cold sources or vice versa. The main goal of this project is to implement heat pipe application in a cooking pot in order to increase its efficiency by saving time and energy. During the design of the cooking pot it will be necessary the understanding of basic thermodynamics processes as well as the performance of the material that will be use in the project. The exterior hollow pipe will be made of copper, and the inner wick will be made of copper-mesh. This will be the fundamental design prototype. During the time of the project design, the cooking pot will be built and tested in order to improvise the flaws in the prototype. Alterations will be made in the design prototype if suitable changes, for instance change in the outer hollow pipe from copper to silver as silver has a higher thermal conductivity, will enhance the efficiency of the cooking pot. If this prototype is successful, a remodeled design of this cooking pot can be introduced to the consumer world.
