Electronic industries have always been trying to improve the efficiency of electronic devices with small dimensions through thermal management of this equipment, thus increasing the use of small thermal sinks. In this study micro heat pipes with triangular and square cross sections have been manufactured and tested. One of the main objectives is to obtain an understanding of micro heat pipes and their role in energy transmission with electrical double layer (EDL). Micro heat pipes are highly efficient heat transfer devices, which use the continuous evaporation/condensation of a suitable working fluid for two-phase heat transport in a closed system. Since the latent heat of vaporization is very large, heat pipes transport heat at small temperature difference, with high rates. Because of variety of advantage features these devices have found a number of applications both in space and terrestrial technologies. The theory of operation micro heat pipes with EDL is described and the micro heat pipe has been studied. The temperature distribution have achieved through five thermocouples installed on the body. Water and different solution mixture of water and ethanol have used to investigate effect of the electric double layer heat transfer. It was noticed that the electric double layer of ionized fluid has caused reduction of heat transfer.

Heat pipe is a very reliable and efficient two phase heat transfer device that has been extensively investigated for applications in electronic cooling. In the past, different types of heat pipe have been developed for specific as well as general applications. With the development in technology and trend towards miniaturization, thermal control of electronic devices with compact structure and concentrated heat sources has really become a challenge. Miniature heat pipes can be considered as potential candidates to address these issues. In the present paper, experimental investigation of the Flat Miniature Heat Pipe (FMHP), with the characteristic thickness of 1.5 mm and new type of composite fibre wick structure (FB-G), has been done for the thermal management of the mobile handheld devices. The so called composite fibre structure consists of combination of copper fibres and axial grooves as a capillary wick along the inner wall of the heat pipe. The design configuration of the experimental FMHP comprised of L-shaped flat heat pipe with rectangular cross section (1.5 mm × 8 mm) and heat transfer length of 100 mm. The body of FMHP was made of copper with pure deionised water as the working fluid. FMHP was easily able to transfer required heat fluxes in the range of 1–6 W/cm2 given by mobile-handheld chipset. Thermal resistance of the heat pipe from evaporator to the condenser surface came out to be in the range of 0.25–0.45 °C/W. In order to highlight the performance of the FMHP with composite fibre wick, thermal resistance was compared to different prototypes with screen mesh and axial grooves. It can be concluded from the outcomes of the investigation that the composite fibre wick structure provides an optimum capillary head and permeability for better heat transfer capabilities and minimal end to end temperature gradient than the conventional type of wick structures. FMHPs with composite fibre wicks will find prospective applications in the cooling of the compact handheld devices like Palm PC, mobile phones and digital diaries.

An analytical model has been formulated for the parametric study of liquid flow characteristics in the heat pipe, which consists of a porous tube, a closed outer container tube, and an annulus between them. The analytical model includes the effect of the rate of change of momentum, surface tension forces, the frictional forces in the body of wicking material and at the wall, as well as the axial variation of static pressure supporting the capillary meniscus at the liquid–vapor–wick interface in the vapor passage. The length of the condenser of the heat pipe was optimized as a function of the radial heat flux rate and the ratio of the liquid flow rate in the annulus to that within the wick, Wa/Ww. The effect of pressure loss and recovery in the vapor passage of the heat pipe on the optimum length of condenser was investigated.

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.

The simplicity of the developing nervous system of oligochaetes makes of it an excellent model for the study of the relationships between glia and neurons. In the present communication we describe the relationships between glia and neurons in the early periods of post-embryonic development in some species of oligochaetes.Tubifex tubifex (Mull. ) and Octolasium complanatum (Dugès) specimens starting from 0. 3 mm of body length were collected from laboratory cultures divided into three groups each group fixed separately by one of the following methods: (a) 4% glutaraldehyde and 1% acrolein fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, (b) TAPO technique, (c) ruthenium red method.Our observations concern the early period of the postembryonic development of the nervous system in oligochaetes. During this period neurons occupy fixed positions in the body the only observable change being the increase in volume of their perikaryons. Perikaryons of glial cells were located at some distance from neurons. Long cytoplasmic processes of glial cells tended to approach the neurons. The superimposed contours of glial cell processes designed from electron micrographs, taken at the same magnification, typical for five successive growth stages of the nervous system of Octolasium complanatum are shown in Fig. 1. Neuron is designed symbolically to facilitate the understanding of the kinetics of the growth process.

Movement in epimastigote and trypomastigote stages of trypanosomes is accomplished by planar sinusoidal beating of the anteriorly directed flagellum and associated undulating membrane. The flagellum emerges from a bottle-shaped depression, the flagellar pocket, opening on the lateral surface of the cell. The limiting cell membrane envelopes not only the body of the trypanosome but is continuous with and insheathes the flagellar axoneme forming the undulating membrane. In some species a paraxial rod parallels the axoneme from its point of emergence at the flagellar pocket and is an integral component of the undulating membrane. A portion of the flagellum may extend beyond the anterior apex of the cell as a free flagellum; the length is variable in different species of trypanosomes.

Otoconia are microscopic geometric structures that cover the sensory epithelia of the utricle and saccule (gravitational receptors) of mammals, and the lagena macula of birds. The importance of otoconia for maintanance of the body balance is evidenced by the abnormal behavior of species with genetic defects of otolith. Although a few reports have dealt with otoconia formation, some basic questions remain unanswered. The chick embryo is desirable for studying otoconial formation because its inner ear structures are easily accessible, and its gestational period is short (21 days of incubation).The results described here are part of an intensive study intended to examine the morphogenesis of the otoconia in the chick embryo (Gallus- domesticus) inner ear. We used chick embryos from the 4th day of incubation until hatching, and examined the specimens with light (LM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The embryos were decapitated, and fixed by immersion with 3% cold glutaraldehyde. The ears and their parts were dissected out under the microscope; no decalcification was used. For LM, the ears were embedded in JB-4 plastic, cut serially at 5 micra and stained with 0.2% toluidine blue and 0.1% basic fuchsin in 25% alcohol.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.
