Abstract
This paper discusses an experimental investigation of the performance of capillary channels with sinusoidal versus triangular geometry. Results indicate that for equivalent cross-sectional area, angle of inclination, and heat input from below, a triangular groove geometry sustains a larger wetted area while a sinusoidal groove geometry supports a greater average heat flux.Keywords
