Table 1 provides the physical dimensions of the TMMHP. The TMMHP used in
this experiment is a 150 mm x 3.0 mm x 0.3 mm cylindrical metal tube
which is made half with pure copper and the other half with pure silver.
The copper-end is the evaporator section while the silver-end is the
condenser. The lengths of the evaporator and adiabatic sections are of
equal length of 45 mm each and the rest 60 mm is the condenser section.
Thus, the evaporator and condenser are fully covered with copper and
silver respectively while the adiabatic section is with both metals. The
evaporator side is then welded to seal.
