Results
We can analyze the results, first by numbers, by looking at line integrals defined earlier.
Energy Balance
1
In the Model Builder window, under Results click Energy Balance.
2
In the Energy Balance toolbar, click  Evaluate.
Note how the heat fluxes across the heat sink and heat source match with opposite signs, and how close the magnitude of “cavity: latent heat” is to this number.
Next apply some finishing touches to the 3D plot of the temperature.
Temperature (ht)
1
In the Model Builder window, click Temperature (ht).
2
In the Settings window for 2D Plot Group, in the Title section, change the Title type list choice to Manual.
3
In the Title text area, type Temperature (ht).
4
Locate the Color Legend section. Select the Show maximum and minimum values checkbox.
5
Select the Show units checkbox.
Surface
1
In the Model Builder window, expand the Temperature, (ht) node, then click Surface.
2
In the Settings window for Surface, locate the Expression section.
3
From the Unit list, choose ºC.
4
Click  Plot.
This is Figure 10 from the results section earlier. Notice how even the temperature is throughout the heat pipe. Also the maximum temperature is significantly lower compared to the dry wick case investigated previously.
