Scientific paper

A series of tests was made with a large diameter, horizontal heat pipe to study the feasibility of maintaining cool zones at the ends with inert buffer gases for metal vapor laser applications. Studies were made of the slope and stability of the gas interface with both water and mercury as the working fluids. Successful operation was achieved using a buffer gas mixture for water vapor and a convection baffle system for mercury vapor. Results indicated that there is a critical heat pipe diameter, which if exceeded requires a definite gas density to establish an effective interface, but for smaller diameters, operation was independent of gas density.
