             abstract = "Heat pipes have become highly reliable systems and since 1970s and 
                         this technology has been widely applied in various areas, such as 
                         heat exchangers, spacecraft thermal control and cooling systems 
                         for electronic components. This technology has found increasing 
                         application in improving the thermal performance of heat 
                         exchangers in many industrial environments. The use of heat pipes 
                         in heat exchangers allows the development of more compact and 
                         efficient equipments, when compared to traditional heat 
                         exchangers. For some applications, such as heat recovery in 
                         industrial process, the use of heat pipes on heat exchangers 
                         presents to be rather interesting due to its direct influence on 
                         increasing the efficiency, allowing a more compact design. In 
                         order to investigate the potential application of heat pipes for 
                         the purpose of this work, three stainless steel heat pipes were 
                         designed and manufactured for experimental tests using water as 
                         the working fluid, operating at mid-range temperatures. To design 
                         the heat pipes, a proprietary computational code was used, which 
                         has been continuously validated over the last 15 years with many 
                         other designs of heat pipes.",
