Experimental design was carried out at three levels for four parameters affecting thermal efficiency. Experiments were made for Al?O?, TiO? and SiO? at 0.2-0.4-0.6% concentrations. Nanofluid suspensions were formed using isopropyl alcohol as the base fluid. The inlet temperatures in the evaporator region were determined as 30-60-90 °C, and the Reynolds numbers in the condenser region were determined as 7200, 14400 and 21600. The thermal efficiencies of the heat pipes were calculated as a result of the experiments carried out in accordance with the experimental design created with the response surface method. The accuracy of the model was tested with analysis of variance (ANOVA) and optimum parameters were obtained as nanoparticle SiO?, concentration 0.32%, evaporator inlet temperature 90 °C and Reynolds number 21600 in the condenser.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessHeat PipeNanofluidsResponse Surface MethodThermal EfficiencyArticle211572573510.1080/00986445.2023.2289146Q2
