Abstract
A micro-channel pulsating heat pipe, preferably closed loop, includes a plate with micro-channels with obstructions along interior walls to increase surface area, add nucleation sites for the working fluid vaporization, and otherwise enhance fluid movement and heat transfer. Various shapes of obstructions are considered on one or more of the bottom wall, the side walls, and top wall of the channel. Plating may fit over or around the plate to enhance strength and heat transfer. Ribbing, of a thermally conductive material, may set on the exterior surface of the plate and/or plating to enhance surface area to encourage heat transfer and arranged to facilitate air movement across exterior surface.
