a heat pipe is a device with high thermal conductance that can transport large amounts of heat with small temperature differences between its hot and cold ends. it is normally used to transport heat from one location to another location or to smooth the temperature distribution on a solid surface.

the heat pipe is widely used in aerospace applications, military devices, temperature control system, and personal computers.  this article explores the manufacturing process, properties and capabilities of thin flat heat pipes.
