In this experiment, work was carried out to infer the thermal characteristics of a heat pipe containing nano fluid inside in it. Various Parameters were considered in this experiment, some of them are inlet temperature at one end, mass flow rate (mfr) to evaporator section and inclination angle of heat pipe. In this work three numbers of heat pipes were used and hybrid nanofluid of Al2O3 – TiO2 has been used as cooling fluid in all three heat pipes. The thermal efficiency of the usage of hybrid nanofluidic working system is found to be highest and also this makes the system to get worse in terms of thermal resistance. The flow rate of condenser section was modified to the various ratios from 1:1 to 1:3 as that of evaporator section. To find the thermal characteristics of the heat pipe, many experiments have been carried out by considering many operating conditions. Evaluation on the heat pipe effectiveness was made on basis of gravity assistance to the condenser. The better productiveness of heat pipe when using the hybrid nanofluid has attained when Ch/Cc = 2 and 100 LPH for all operating conditions.
