This study aims to investigate the influence of inclination angle and concentration of nanoparticles on the improvement in heat pipe thermal efficiency. Spherical shaped, 40 nm size CuO nanoparticles are used in this study and its physical and thermal chracteristics are investigated. The results are compared with a heat pipe using DI water at horizontal position.The thermal efficiency is improved by increasing the tilt angle and mass of particles dispersed in DI water. The improvement in thermal efficiency obtained are 20.59, 35.92 and 32.57% respectively for 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt% of CuO nanofluids and 60° inclination angle.
