Abstract : The present study is carried out on a concentric heat pipe by intriguing the geometries of the pipe considered. The fin configurations are placed about the circumference of the tube in 2D manner. The numerical and simulation analysis are evaluated for the geometry using the computational dynamics tool. The main grail of the work is to increase the heat swapping behavior by modifying the geometry thereby increasing the effectiveness of the pipe. The geometries are evaluated in terms of velocity, pressure and temperature lineation in order to calculate for the heat swapping behavior. The results depicted that the maximum amount of heat swapping can be observed in model – M3. The outlet values with regard to the temperature lineation are found to be in considerable correlation with the regression data generated.
