Timeline Update:
Week 7 was just completed and the pipe assembly and testing
is going on as planned for the most part, the process has been slowed because
there is also a critical defect in the heat pipe. Heat sink assembly has also been pushed to
week 8, and will be completed before the lab session. Testing will continue,
but the pipe is not working with the efficiency originally calculated. The
reason for slow progress of optimal results is due to a small leak at the
threaded end of the pipe. There is a small gap that leaks water and pressure
and in such a delicate system even the smallest gaps can negatively impact
results. So this week will be focused on solving the problem with the leak, and
assembling the heat sinks.
