1. Micro-pipelines and two-phase thermal diffusers

Microheat pipes and two-phase thermal diffusers are small heat pipes.

The first studies on these systems date back to the early 1990s. They were motivated by the need to replace traditional cooling systems unsuited to the cooling of constantly miniaturizing electronic components.
