HEAT TRANSFER AND THE SECOND LAW
... Thus far we’ve used the first law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved. Where does the second law come in? One way is when heat flows. Heat flows in response to a temperature gradient. If two points are in thermal contact and at different temperatures, T1 and T2 then energy is transferred between ...

Heat pipe
A heat pipe is a heat-transfer device that combines the principles of both thermal conductivity and phase transition to efficiently manage the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces.At the hot interface of a heat pipe a liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from that surface. The vapor then travels along the heat pipe to the cold interface and condenses back into a liquid - releasing the latent heat. The liquid then returns to the hot interface through either capillary action, centrifugal force, or gravity, and the cycle repeats. Due to the very high heat transfer coefficients for boiling and condensation, heat pipes are highly effective thermal conductors. The effective thermal conductivity varies with heat pipe length, and can approach 7002100000000000000♠100 kW/(m⋅K) for long heat pipes, in comparison with approximately 6999400000000000000♠0.4 kW/(m⋅K) for copper.
