Heat transfer theory and heat pipe development for palm oil industry application
ANDREW YAP Kian ChungHeat could be transferred in three ways which are conduction, convection and radiation. The recent development to produce a faster heat transfer material was the heat pipe that combines the principles of both thermal conductivity and phase transition to efficiently manage the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces. The objective of this research work is to introduce the heat pipe phenomena using existing heat transfer theory and discuss the application in palm oil industry which may enable more biomass saving.
