Abstract

A heat pipe comprises a tube and protrusions. The tube has an internal surface, an external surface, and a length running from a first end to a second end. The protrusions are on the internal surface. A first cross-section of the protrusions at a first location of the length of the tube is different from a second cross-section of the protrusions at a second location of the length of the tube. The tube and the protrusions are monolithic.
