The performance of a heat pipe is analysed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with various input parameters namely heat input, angle of inclination, filling ratio, concentration of copper nanofluid and flow rate of coolant in the condenser over the output response i.e. the thermal efficiency of the heat pipe. The experimental design is developed based on Box - Behnken design method. The influence of vital input parameters and interaction among them are investigated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The proposed mathematical model in this study has proven to fit and in line with experimental values with a 95% confidence interval.
