             abstract = "Heat pipes are passive heat transfer devices that can successfully 
                         transfer large amounts of heat. The robust and simple tubular 
                         structure with no moving parts makes the heat pipe a perfect 
                         choice for different applications such as industrial or aerospace. 
                         Heat pipe technology for industrial applications has been widely 
                         used on a heat recovery system, with an increasing development for 
                         thermal control of electronic equipment and heat exchangers 
                         performance augmentation. The heat pipe performance depends on its 
                         geometry, working fluid, wick structure, and operating conditions. 
                         The working fluid is one of the most important parameters as the 
                         heat pipe utilizes the phase change to transport the heat. 
                         Therefore, the selection of the working fluid is of great 
                         importance to enhance the thermal performance of the heat pipe. 
                         Heat pipes operating at mid-level temperatures have found several 
                         applications in both industry and aerospace segments. In this 
                         study, heat pipes were designed and manufactured with the 
                         objective of investigating the potential application of heat pipes 
                         operating at mid-level temperature. The thermal conductance 
                         obtained from the experimental tests was used to correlate the 
                         thermal conductances obtained analytically, with results showing 
                         high accuracy based on the adjustment factor applied.",
